EDITORS COMMENTS
Saxon and Lady Marguerite Strickland: Two Guardians of Protection in the Face of War In this evocative image from 1939, Lady Marguerite Strickland stands proudly in her Mechanical Transport Training Corps uniform, complete with helmet, exuding a sense of determination and readiness. Her loyal Alsatian companion, Saxon, stands faithfully by her side, ears perked and eyes fixed on the horizon. The caption, 'Saxon and Anglo-Saxon on the Alert,' perfectly encapsulates the spirit of protection and vigilance that defined this extraordinary woman and her devoted canine companion. Lady Marguerite Strickland was not only a dedicated member of the Mechanical Transport Training Corps during World War II but also an advocate for animal welfare. Her commitment to both causes is reflected in this powerful photograph, which captures the essence of the war effort and the unbreakable bond between a woman and her dog. The 1930s were a pivotal time in history, with the looming threat of war casting a long shadow over Europe. Lady Strickland's unwavering dedication to her country and her animals served as a testament to the resilience and courage of the era. This photograph stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the enduring power of the human-animal bond.
