EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Winston Churchill's visit to America during the Second World War. Taken at the Port of Embarkation on board HMS Duke of York, this image showcases an emotional farewell between Churchill and his youngest daughter, Mary. As Mr. Churchill prepares to set sail on the battleship that will take him across the Atlantic, he is seen off by Mary, who proudly serves as an N. C. O. in the A. T. S (Auxiliary Territorial Service). The devotion and support of family are evident in this touching scene. In a poignant display of love and respect, Winston Churchill returns his daughter's salute as she bids him "au revoir" and God-speed. Their connection transcends their roles as politician and soldier; it reflects a deep bond between father and daughter amidst turbulent times. Dated January 27th, 1942, this photograph not only commemorates Churchill's journey but also symbolizes the unity between two nations during one of humanity's darkest periods. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like Mary who played vital roles in supporting their loved ones serving on the frontlines. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints from Birmingham Post and Mail archives, this snapshot encapsulates both personal emotions and historical significance. It allows us to glimpse into a moment frozen in time when leaders navigated treacherous waters with determination while cherishing precious connections with their families back home.
