Remembering a Hero - Memorial Match in Newport, Wales
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1940s, amidst the chaos of World War Two. The image captures a solemn yet spirited moment during a memorial match held in Newport, Wales, paying tribute to the brave Maurice Turnbull. Turnbull tragically lost his life during the Allied D-Day landings. The two teams involved in this emotional encounter were Sir Robert Weber's team and United Services team. As they prepare for kick-off, our attention is drawn to the two captains standing opposite each other - Jim Sullivan and Glyn Davies of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. Sullivan, formerly of Cardiff, would go on to showcase his incredible skill by scoring an impressive five goals throughout the match. At the center of it all stands Admiral Sir Hugh Binney - a figure who exudes authority and respect. His presence serves as a reminder that even amidst war and tragedy, unity can be found through sportsmanship and camaraderie. This photograph encapsulates not only rugby league action but also represents something much deeper - it symbolizes resilience in times of adversity and honors those who made ultimate sacrifices for their country. It serves as a powerful testament to Maurice Turnbull's bravery while reminding us all never to forget those who fought valiantly during wartime.
