EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1943, we see Jock Bremner, a seasoned 61-year-old stoker of the Merchant Navy, proudly displaying his well-deserved accolade. Standing to his right are Dave Durrand and Walter Henderson, fellow shipmates who share in the joyous moment. The significance of this photograph lies in the remarkable milestone reached by Jock - he has become the recipient of the Merchant Navy's two millionth comfort. The heartwarming pullover adorning Jock's shoulders was carefully knitted by Mrs Oswald Meyer, one among an astounding number of 100,000 women dedicatedly working for the Merchant Navy men through their invaluable service known as the Merchant Navy Comforts Service. This thoughtful gift not only provides physical warmth but also symbolizes a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for these brave seafarers. Captured on board a sturdy 1,200-tonner vessel just after returning from convoy duty, this image encapsulates both resilience and camaraderie amidst wartime adversity. It serves as a testament to the unwavering spirit exhibited by these courageous individuals during World War II. This poignant snapshot offers us a glimpse into history - an era marked by conflict and sacrifice. As we reflect upon it today, let us honor those who served selflessly in times of war while acknowledging the tireless efforts made by countless individuals like Mrs Oswald Meyer to ensure that our heroes felt supported even amidst turbulent seas.
