EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints captures a poignant moment in the village of Strete, Devon during November 1943. The image depicts a general scene on the main street, where villagers are engaged in deep conversations about an impending evacuation that will impact their entire area. As World War Two rages on, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the lives of those living on the home front. In this photograph, women and children can be seen huddled together, their expressions reflecting both concern and determination. The child's innocent face hints at the uncertainty surrounding their future amidst conflict. With war raging around them, families were faced with difficult decisions to ensure their safety. The atmosphere captured by Daily Mirror's lens is one of resilience and unity as communities come together to face adversity head-on. This image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people during wartime – leaving behind familiar homes and loved ones for an uncertain future. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, let us remember the strength displayed by these individuals who bravely navigated through challenging times. This print not only documents an important chapter in Strete's history but also pays tribute to all those affected by World War Two across Devon and beyond.
