Royal Air Force service members bow their heads as
Summary
Royal Air Force service members bow their heads as Rev. Andrew Wakeham-Dawson, squadron leader, leads the group in prayer during the Battle of Britain Day parade ceremony at the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing in Southwest Asia, Sept. 20, 2013. The RAF holds this day special as it was the day the Luftwaffe embarked on their largest bombing attack yet, forcing the engagement of the entire RAF Fighter Command in defense of London and the South East, which resulted in a decisive victory in favor of Britain and marked a turning point in the war.
