EDITORS COMMENTS
Audrey Hall and Edna Laurence: Young Women Making a Difference in the Midst of War". This print captures the essence of resilience and determination during one of history's darkest periods. Audrey Hall, aged 16, and Edna Laurence, aged 15, both students from the L. C. C Technical Institute, are seen diligently working at a sorting office in a local Post Office during the Second World War. Taken on the 14th of December 1943 by renowned photographer Henry How, this image showcases two young girls defying societal norms to contribute their skills towards vital communications services. In an era dominated by conflict and uncertainty, these remarkable teenagers exemplify bravery beyond their years. Seated behind cluttered desks amidst stacks of letters awaiting distribution, Audrey and Edna meticulously sort through correspondence that connects loved ones torn apart by war. Their youthful faces bear traces of maturity as they shoulder responsibilities far beyond their tender ages. In an industry predominantly occupied by men at that time, these determined women demonstrate unwavering dedication to maintaining essential postal services even amidst chaos. Their commitment to duty serves as an inspiration for generations to come. As we reflect upon this poignant moment frozen in time within our Memory Lane Prints collection from the 1940s era; let us honor Audrey Hall and Edna Laurence for embodying strength and perseverance during such challenging times. May their story remind us all that age is no barrier when it comes to making a difference.
