EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the momentous first day of the Allied invasion of Sicily during World War II, on 10th July 1943. The image shows members of the British Highland Division preparing the beach roads for the advance of troops and supplies. In the foreground, large landing craft are unloading essential provisions, while a human chain extends from the shore to transfer them to the waiting soldiers and vehicles. The meticulous logistical efforts required for a successful amphibious assault are evident in this scene, with tankers and other support vehicles positioned nearby. The invasion of Sicily marked a turning point in the European theatre of the war, and this historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the immense sacrifice and determination of the Allied forces during this pivotal period. The 2nd British Division, also known as the Black Watch, played a crucial role in the invasion, and their distinctive tartan kilts can be seen among the troops in this image.
