EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the aftermath of a devastating incident during World War II. Taken on November 7th, 1944, near Herbert Road in Woolwich, it showcases the destructive impact of a V2 Rocket attack. The scene is one of chaos and destruction as flattened houses dominate the landscape while debris litters the street. In this snapshot from history, we witness the resilience and bravery of emergency services personnel who worked tirelessly amidst such devastation. Firemen from the auxiliary fire service can be seen navigating through the wreckage to extinguish lingering flames and provide aid to those affected by this horrific bombing. The image serves as a stark reminder of the relentless conflict that engulfed cities during this period. It symbolizes not only the physical damage caused by flying bombs but also represents an entire nation's determination to withstand adversity on their home front. Photographer George Greenwell has skillfully captured both tragedy and hope within this frame. As we gaze upon this haunting photograph today, let us remember those who lived through these dark times and honor their strength in rebuilding shattered communities.
