EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from October 1953, we are transported back to an era of admiration and heroism. The image showcases a group of eager youngsters attending Broadstone Hall School, their eyes filled with awe and curiosity. But what draws them to school earlier than necessary? It is none other than the legendary Mr Joseph Lister. Ex Sgt Lister VC, a decorated war veteran who now serves as a street warden in their residential neighborhood, has become an icon for these children. Although he humbly refrains from wearing his medals on duty, the young ones cannot help but inquire about his remarkable Victoria Cross and when they might have the privilege of seeing it. This snapshot encapsulates the timeless bond between different generations - boys captivated by tales of bravery and sacrifice that echo through history. As they gather around Joe during those precious moments before class begins, their imaginations run wild with visions of military valor. The urban landscape provides a fitting backdrop for this scene of childhood wonderment amidst bustling streets. These children not only witness firsthand the dedication required for public service but also learn valuable lessons about respect and honor. This print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an era where heroes walked among us - reminding us that even in everyday life, extraordinary individuals can inspire generations to dream big and strive for greatness.
