EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history at the Mitchells and Butlers Brewery. The image showcases a wreath laying service and parade held to honor the memory of William Savage, V. C. , a brave soldier who lost his life during World War II in St. Nazaire. Dated April 3rd, 1960, this snapshot transports us back to an era where brewing was not just about producing alcohol but also about commemorating the sacrifices made by servicemen like Savage. The Mitchells & Butlers Brewery Cenotaph stands tall as a solemn reminder of the brewery's commitment to honoring those who fought for their country. The scene is filled with emotion as we witness individuals paying their respects, adorned in military uniforms from that time period. This powerful display of unity and remembrance speaks volumes about the impact war had on communities during the 1960s. As we delve into this print from Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, it serves as a testament to how breweries were not only places of industry but also pillars within society that upheld tradition and honored fallen heroes. It reminds us that even amidst times of celebration or production, it is crucial never to forget those who sacrificed everything for our freedom.
