ATS girls and their soldier comrades at a Manchester A. A
ATS girls and their soldier comrades at a Manchester A.A. site made many toys during their stand-by homes and yesterday they visited St. Marys Hospital for women and children, Manchester and distributed them among the patients in the babies ward. Soldiers and girls plied three years old Freddie Conroy with gifts. Freddy (lying in cot) can only eat certain foods and one of these is bananas. Believe it or not that is a banana Fred is chewing.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured by Thompson from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1940s during the Second World War. The image showcases a group of ATS girls and their soldier comrades at a Manchester A. A site, where they dedicated their time to making toys for children in need. Yesterday, these compassionate individuals visited St. Mary's Hospital for women and children in Manchester, spreading joy among the patients in the babies ward. Among them is three-year-old Freddie Conroy, lying peacefully in his cot as soldiers and girls surround him with an array of gifts. It is fascinating to note that little Freddie can only consume certain foods due to dietary restrictions, one of which happens to be bananas. As unbelievable as it may seem, Fred is seen happily chewing on a banana gifted by one of his newfound friends. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of Christmas during wartime - a time when acts of kindness held immense value amidst turmoil and uncertainty. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos and conflict, humanity prevails through selflessness and compassion. The presence of soldiers alongside these ATS girls highlights the unity forged between different members of society during times of crisis. Together, they bring smiles to young faces while reminding us all that love knows no boundaries – not even those imposed by war or circumstance.
