EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming illustration from a WW2 children's book titled "The Girls Of Today" captures the spirit of unity and dedication during wartime. Miss Purl and Plain may not look alike, but they both play an essential role in supporting the boys out there by knitting warm woollies for them to wear. In a time when every contribution mattered, these two young girls exemplify the selflessness and hard work that defined the home front effort during World War II. Despite their differences, they are united in their mission to provide comfort and warmth to those serving on the front lines. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when everyone did their part to support the war effort. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people, especially women and children, who played crucial roles in ensuring victory. As we look back at this poignant depiction of Miss Purl and Plain diligently knitting away, we are reminded of the resilience and strength displayed by individuals during times of adversity. Their efforts may have been small in scale, but they were significant in contributing to the larger cause of freedom and peace.
