Anti aircraft gun and army unit in the Hull and Yorkshire, or East Riding
Anti aircraft gun and army unit in the Hull and Yorkshire, or East Riding, area of England during World War Two.
Anti-aircraft warfare or counter-air defence is defined by NATO as " all measures designed to nullify or reduce the effectiveness of hostile air action". They include surface based, subsurface (submarine launched), and air-based weapon systems, associated sensor systems, command and control arrangements and passive measures (e.g. barrage balloons). It may be used to protect naval, ground, and air forces in any location. However, for most countries the main effort has tended to be homeland defence.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the heart of World War Two, specifically in the Hull and Yorkshire area of England. The image showcases an army unit standing alongside a powerful anti-aircraft gun, ready to defend their homeland against hostile air action. During this tumultuous period, anti-aircraft warfare played a crucial role in safeguarding naval, ground, and air forces across various locations. NATO defines it as encompassing all measures aimed at nullifying or reducing the effectiveness of enemy aerial attacks. This comprehensive defense strategy includes surface-based weapons systems like the one depicted here, as well as subsurface and air-based counterparts. The soldiers featured in this photograph are part of the home guard - ordinary citizens who volunteered to protect their communities during times of war. Their determination is palpable as they stand tall beside this formidable weapon that symbolizes their commitment to defending their country. Taken circa August 1940, amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war, this picture serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War Two. It captures not only the military might but also highlights the resilience and unity displayed by those on the home front. Thanks to Memory Lane Prints' preservation efforts, we can now glimpse into history's defining moments like never before – allowing us to honor those who fought for our freedom while gaining a deeper understanding of our shared past.
