EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of a V1 flying bomb attack on Aldwych, London, on June 30th, 1944. It serves as a haunting reminder of one of the deadliest attacks during World War II. The scene is filled with chaos and destruction as emergency services rush to aid the victims. In this heart-wrenching image, we witness the heroic efforts of police officers, Civil Defence personnel, and members of the National Fire Service who bravely attend to the wounded and help them find safety. Amidst the rubble-strewn streets and damaged houses, firefighters can be seen wielding hoses to extinguish fires that threaten to engulf what remains of residential buildings. The devastation caused by this air raid is evident in every corner of this photograph. The spray from water hoses mingles with smoke-filled air while brave individuals climb ladders to reach those trapped or injured in precarious positions. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when ordinary people became heroes amidst unimaginable tragedy. George Greenwell's expertly captured image not only documents history but also pays tribute to those who risked their lives for others during these dark times. As we gaze upon this poignant photograph today, it serves as a solemn reminder of both human resilience and the horrors unleashed during World War II.
