EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this historic print is an Air Raid Precaution (ARP) bomb demonstration held at Reading, Berkshire during the Second World War. The image transports us back to 28th December 1942, a time when the world was engulfed in war and conflict. Amongst the crowd of observers are notable figures such as Regional Commissioner Sir Harry Haig, Alderman H. Bale, Alderman A. Lovell, and Mr L. Noel Sutton. The photograph captures a moment of intense training and preparation for defence against enemy attacks on the home front. As sirens wailed and tensions ran high, these brave individuals dedicated themselves to ensuring the safety of their community amidst the chaos of war. In this snapshot from the forties, we witness a display of resilience and determination as ARP personnel engage in exercises aimed at honing their skills in bomb detection and disposal techniques. These men were on the frontline of civil defence efforts – their unwavering commitment serving as a testament to human strength even in times of darkness. This poignant image serves as a reminder that behind every act of heroism lies ordinary individuals who stepped up when duty called upon them. It also pays tribute to all those who sacrificed their lives or endured immense hardships during World War Two. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints with utmost care, this print offers us an invaluable glimpse into our shared history – reminding us never to forget those who fought tirelessly for our freedom.
