This print takes us back to the year 1943, at the Pinderfields Rehabilitation Centre in Wakefield, Yorkshire. The image showcases a group of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and colliers being put through their paces as part of their recovery process. Among them is Sergeant Jack Hornblower from Harold Wood, Essex, wearing his khaki uniform. Despite enduring the horrors of war and sustaining injuries from being run over by a heavy gun, Sergeant Hornblower is now on the road to recovery. In this heartwarming scene captured by Flint for Memory Lane Prints, we witness wounded soldiers enjoying a cycle ride with their instructor Miss Mary Davenport from Manchester.
