Bulldozers clear British advance beyond and through Aunay-Sur-Odon across the Orne
Bulldozers clear British advance beyond and through Aunay-Sur-Odon across the Orne. Rising out of the ruins of this famous french town was its ancient church which was untouched. The rest of the town was absolutely flat with hardly a wall standing.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Esten takes us back to the tumultuous era of World War II. The image showcases a scene of destruction and resilience, as bulldozers clear the way for British forces to advance beyond and through Aunay-Sur-Odon across the Orne River in France. The devastating impact of war is evident, with the town reduced to rubble and hardly a wall left standing. Amidst this desolation, one remarkable structure stands tall - the ancient church of Aunay-Sur-Odon. Miraculously untouched by bombs and bullets, it rises defiantly from the ruins, symbolizing hope and endurance amidst chaos. Its presence serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of darkness, fragments of beauty can emerge unscathed. The photograph captures both the horrors of conflict and the indomitable spirit of those affected by it. It transports us back to August 9th, 1944 when this pivotal moment unfolded – an important milestone in history's most significant war. Jack Esten's lens skillfully immortalizes this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints; a testament not only to his artistic prowess but also to our collective duty never to forget the sacrifices made during World War II. As we gaze upon this image today, let us honor those who fought bravely on both sides while cherishing peace as our most precious possession.
