EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable transformation within the former casualty ward of a Surrey hospital. Once a place of pain and suffering, it has now been converted into a vibrant workshop where wounded and injured servicemen are restoring their wage-earning confidence. The room is bathed in warm light, illuminating the busy atmosphere as these resilient individuals reclaim their lives. Among them are fourteen patients who have been paralyzed from the hips down, yet they refuse to let adversity define them. In this workshop, they channel their strength and determination into crafting exquisite clocks. Each tick represents not only the passage of time but also serves as a testament to their unwavering spirit. In this particular moment captured by Edward G. Malindine on June 24th, 1946, we see Private Harvy proudly placing his newly created clock on the table of finished works. His face radiates with satisfaction and accomplishment, embodying the resilience that defines these servicemen. This image encapsulates an era marked by post-war recovery and rehabilitation efforts for soldiers who bravely fought during World War Two (WWII). It stands as a poignant reminder of both the sacrifices made by these courageous individuals and their indomitable will to rebuild their lives amidst adversity.
