EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Sailor's Slumber and the Roaring Submarine Torpedo: A Tale of WW2" 2. Caption: In this charming pair of illustrations from a children's ABC book, published circa 1940, we are transported back in time to the heart of the Second World War. On the left, a weary Royal Navy sailor, clad in his distinctive blue and white striped pyjamas, enjoys a moment of respite after a long shift. The peaceful scene is a stark contrast to the turmoil of the war raging around him. On the right, a submarine torpedo, armed with the power to change the course of the war, makes its deadly approach. The torpedo, with its menacing shape and ominous shadow, is poised to strike its target with unyielding force. The contrast between the tranquil image of the sailor and the dynamic, explosive energy of the torpedo highlights the dual nature of the war experience. The sailor's calm repose serves as a reminder that even in the midst of conflict, there are moments of rest and relaxation. Meanwhile, the torpedo's relentless pursuit underscores the unyielding determination and resolve that characterized the Allied forces during WW2. These captivating illustrations, created by renowned artist John Hassall, offer a unique glimpse into the world of WW2, providing a fascinating blend of history, whimsy, and adventure for young and old alike.
