SUPPLIES MUST GO THRU is the watchword of the drivers bringing up food, water and ammunition for the troops in the desert battlelines. Enormous convoys of vehicles are needed for the job and they are visible for miles from the air, but the British drivers proceed regardless of bombing. This picture gives a driver’s-eye view of the bombing of a convoy. One bomb has just burst ahead and others are whistling down behind and at the sides. If the driver stops for shelter, his truck becomes an easier target and the supplies are delayed, if not destroyed. So, he zig-zags and keeps right on.

Why We Chose It
Reminds us of the now-old adage, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” Fittingly, that quote is attributed to Winston Churchill.
