EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the midst of chaos, this poignant print titled 'WW2 Children Playing Games' transports us back to September 1940, a time when innocence and resilience prevailed even amidst the ruins. The image showcases a group of children ingeniously transforming an upturned dustbin into a makeshift see-saw, using a simple plank of wood as their vessel for joy. Set against the backdrop of a London street ravaged by the aftermath of a devastating bomb raid during World War II, this snapshot encapsulates both the harsh realities and indomitable spirit that defined that era. Amongst debris from buildings reduced to rubble, these young souls find solace in playfulness and camaraderie. Their carefree laughter serves as an enduring testament to the unwavering human capacity for hope and imagination even in times of conflict. In their innocent games lies defiance against adversity; they refuse to let destruction define them. Photographer George Greenwell masterfully captures this moment with his lens, freezing it forever within our collective memory. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded not only of the resilience displayed by these children but also how crucial it is to preserve stories like theirs – tales that remind us all of our shared humanity.
