EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a significant moment in history - the 15th of December, 1942. In Reading, a group of schoolboys and girls are seen eagerly enrolling for Post Office work during the Second World War. The image beautifully captures the spirit of determination and patriotism that defined this era. As conflict raged on, young individuals were called upon to contribute their skills to support the war effort. With mail being an essential means of communication between soldiers at the front lines and their loved ones back home, these brave youngsters took up roles within the post office to ensure efficient delivery. The photograph showcases a diverse group of boys and girls dressed in their school uniforms, standing tall with anticipation as they sign up for this crucial duty. Their youthful faces reflect both excitement and responsibility as they prepare themselves for service amidst uncertain times. This snapshot not only commemorates those who selflessly served their country but also serves as a reminder of how war impacted all aspects of society, even reaching into educational institutions. It is through images like these that we gain insight into the resilience and unity displayed by communities during one of humanity's darkest chapters. Memory Lane Prints has once again preserved an invaluable piece of our collective memory with this evocative photograph capturing a poignant moment in time.
