EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1940s in Axbridge, Somerset. The image depicts a group of Land Army girls eagerly learning the ancient art of eel clotting along the serene riverbank. With fishing rods in hand and smiles on their faces, these resilient women embody strength and determination during World War Two. As part of the home front effort, these Land Army girls played a crucial role in supporting food production while men were away at war. In this snapshot frozen in time on August 11th, 1943, we witness their unwavering spirit as they master an age-old technique that had been passed down through generations. The tranquil waters reflect not only the beauty of nature but also symbolize hope amidst challenging times. These brave women find solace and joy in connecting with both each other and the bountiful river that sustains them. This photograph is a testament to their resilience and camaraderie as they navigate through uncertain times together. It serves as a reminder of the countless unsung heroes who contributed to victory during World War Two. With every glance at this remarkable piece captured by Mirrorpix, we are reminded of how ordinary individuals can accomplish extraordinary feats when faced with adversity.
