EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a temporary wartime policeman, also known as a "bobby," standing at attention in London during the early days of World War Two. Dated September 1939, just a few weeks after the outbreak of the conflict, this brave officer is seen wearing his distinctive armband and helmet, symbolizing his duty and commitment to maintaining law and order in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. In one hand, he carries his gas mask, a necessary piece of equipment for protecting himself against potential chemical attacks. The somber expression on his face underscores the gravity of the situation and the seriousness of his role. The photograph, taken in London, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served as police officers during wartime, ensuring the safety and security of their communities in the face of adversity. This powerful image, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into history and the resilience of the human spirit during times of crisis.
