Break Duty Eating Emergency Lunch Sandwich Sandwiches Telephone Ww 2 Ww Ii Scout Scouts War Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and urgency of wartime London, a Scout on emergency duty takes a moment to recharge during his lunch break. In this poignant photograph from the 1940s, the Scout sits comfortably against a telephone post, his uniform neatly pressed and badges gleaming. A sandwich in one hand and a steaming flask in the other, he appears to be enjoying a brief respite from his duties. The telephone post, a vital communication link during World War II, serves as a reminder of the importance of his role in maintaining the connections that kept the city and its people informed and connected during this critical time. The Scout's presence at the post also symbolizes the resilience and dedication of the young people who served during the war, often taking on adult responsibilities at a young age to support their communities. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Scout on emergency duty during the 1940s, a time of great challenge and sacrifice for the people of London and the world.
