EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the moment of truth during the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, off the coast of Normandy, France. The image focuses on HMS Romillies, a British landing ship, Tank Landing Ship (LST), as it bravely advances through the choppy waters, leaving a trail of black smoke in its wake. The ship's mission was to transport troops and supplies to the beaches of Normandy, marking the beginning of the Allied invasion of Europe during World War II. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and determination, as the brave men aboard HMS Romillies prepare for the critical moment when they will disembark and join their comrades on the shores of France. The surrounding sea is dotted with other ships, each playing its role in the largest amphibious invasion in history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the personal album of Mary Evans, who captured this moment of wartime history. The 1940s, a decade marked by conflict and uncertainty, are brought to life through this poignant image. The courage and resilience of the soldiers and sailors, as well as the determination of the Allied forces, are encapsulated in this powerful photograph." Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this historical image for research and educational purposes. The photograph is a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of those who took part in the D-Day landings and the wider conflict of World War II. It serves as a reminder of the pivotal role that the British military played in the liberation of Europe and the eventual defeat of the Axis powers.
