EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful advertisement placed by Delaney Gallay Ltd during the Second World War to raise funds for The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund. The image, taken in 1941, showcases the company's dedication to supporting the families of military personnel who lost their lives during the conflict. In Loving Memory of the Sons of Members of our Organisation who have given their young lives in the great cause, this heartfelt message calls attention to the urgent requirements of the fund. Manufacturers of parts for De Havilland Mosquito aircraft, Delaney Gallay Ltd understood that they could not do less than help those dependents left in necessitous circumstances due to loss. This ad serves as a poignant reminder of both sacrifice and solidarity within Britain's armed forces. The print is featured in "The Royal Air Force in Pictures" authored by Major Oliver Stewart, a distinguished flying ace from World War I. Published by Country Life Ltd in London, 1941, this second edition book offers an intimate glimpse into wartime experiences. As we reflect on this historical artifact from World War II, it reminds us of the immense challenges faced and overcome during that tumultuous decade. It also highlights how charity and industry joined forces to support those affected by war's devastating consequences.
