EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1943, during the height of World War II. The image showcases an instructor at the Government pit school, dedicatedly guiding a group of Bevin Boys on how to navigate through the dark depths of Morrison Old Pit in Annefield Plain, England. The coal mining industry played a crucial role in supporting the war effort, providing fuel for factories and homes alike. These brave young men known as Bevin Boys were conscripted into service instead of joining the armed forces, ensuring that coal production continued uninterrupted. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness these future miners attentively observing their mentor's every move. Equipped with helmets and lamps illuminating their path ahead, they are being taught how to follow a seam of coal deep underground. The scene exudes determination and resilience as these individuals prepare themselves for grueling work amidst challenging conditions. Their commitment to serving their country is palpable. This photograph not only captures a significant moment in history but also pays homage to those who contributed tirelessly on the home front during wartime. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals across industries like mining that often go unnoticed. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints staff, this remarkable image stands as a testament to both human ingenuity and unwavering dedication even in times of conflict.
