EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from July 1939, we are introduced to two remarkable individuals who couldn't be more different in terms of height. Standing at an impressive six feet four inches tall, Charlie Dick of Felton, Northumberland towers over his companion John Godfrey from Blythe, who measures a mere five feet tall. The duo has formed an unlikely friendship while serving in the Militia at Fenham Barracks in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Amidst a group of 300 trainees, these two soldiers represent the epitome of opposites attracting. Their contrasting statures create a humorous and eye-catching sight that undoubtedly brings smiles to those around them. It is particularly amusing when Johnny finds himself standing next to Charlie during dress formations – their height difference accentuated even further. This photograph not only captures the camaraderie between soldiers but also showcases the diversity within military units. Despite their physical disparities, both men proudly salute alongside their comrades as they prepare for duty. This image serves as a reminder that strength comes in all shapes and sizes and that unity can transcend differences. Preserved by Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary individuals during a pivotal time in history – just before World War II would forever change their lives and reshape the world they knew.
