EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the lively atmosphere of The Games Room, or Penny Arcade, at the American Red Cross Club, Rainbow Corner, during the latter stages of the Second World War. Located in the heart of London, this was the main hub for US servicemen, affectionately known as 'Yanks,' seeking relaxation and camaraderie away from the battlefields. The Penny Arcade promised 'doors that never close,' offering a welcome respite from the harsh realities of war. The room is filled with the sounds of laughter, friendly banter, and the clinking of coins as soldiers engage in friendly competition at the pool tables and pinball machines. The Penny Arcade was more than just a place for amusement; it was where soldiers could buy tickets for theatre and entertainment organised by the Programme Director. These events provided a much-needed distraction from the daily grind of military life. The photograph, taken in 1945, captures a moment of shared joy and camaraderie among the soldiers. The men, dressed in their uniforms, are fully immersed in their games, their expressions revealing a sense of focus and determination. The Penny Arcade served as a vital source of hospitality and morale-boosting entertainment for the American servicemen during their time in London. This photograph, taken by Terence Cuneo, is a poignant reminder of the importance of community and entertainment during times of conflict. It offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the soldiers and the small moments of joy they found amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war.
