EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment during the Second World War. In an Emergency Medical Service (EMS) hospital in Stoke Mandeville, a choir and musicians composed entirely of wounded servicemen are seen performing together. This extraordinary scene is not only a display of talent but also serves as part of their treatment to aid in their reintegration into normal life after enduring long periods of recuperation. Mr. Haydn Dykins, hailing from Aylesbury, takes on the role of coach for these brave individuals as they harmonize their voices under his guidance. Assisting him is Miss Marjorie Strong, who skillfully accompanies them on the piano. The date etched beneath this snapshot reveals that it was taken on 22nd July 1946, just one year after the war came to an end. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of resilience and determination amidst adversity. These injured soldiers have found solace and healing through music, using it as a means to uplift spirits within the confines of the hospital ward. As we gaze upon this photograph by Freddie Cole from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded that even during times of conflict and struggle, art has the power to bring people together and provide hope for brighter days ahead.
