The sense of determination and bravery is palpable in their expressions, as they embark on a mission to support the war effort during this tumultuous time. The illustration, taken from R. Ernest Bailey's children's short story "We Will Return," beautifully encapsulates the spirit of resilience and unity that defined this era.
