EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a moment of triumph and unity as Allied troops, led by the Eighth Army under Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery and General Dwight Eisenhower's forces, are warmly welcomed by the residents of Tunis on May 7, 1943. The Allied forces had encircled and defeated thousands of retreating German and Italian troops, marking the end of the Battle of Tunisia during World War II. The joyous scene captured in this photograph is a testament to the relief and hope brought by the Allied victory in North Africa. This image is part of a collection of official war photographs that were given to the 78th Division Battleaxe Club and later developed into slides. The collection provides a valuable historical record of the events that transpired during this pivotal period in World War II.
