EDITORS COMMENTS
This pair of illustrations, taken from a children's ABC book during the early years of World War II, circa 1940, provides a poignant glimpse into the lives of a Canadian soldier and his family back home. On the left, a brave Canadian soldier stands tall and proud, shouldering the weight of his military equipment. His determined expression and unwavering posture reflect the unyielding spirit of the soldiers who fought valiantly in the 2nd World War. On the right, the image shifts to a cozy dugout, where the warmth and comfort of home prevail. Grandpapa, with a book in hand, immerses himself in the pages, momentarily escaping the harsh realities of war. Grandmama, seated nearby, knits intently, her nimble fingers creating the essential socks that her grandpa would need to keep warm during his long and arduous days on the battlefield. These illustrations, titled 'W' for 'Warrior' and 'D' for 'Dugout,' serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during wartime. The images, held within the pages of a children's ABC book, offer a unique and heartfelt perspective on the experiences of the past. These evocative illustrations are part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, and though not associated with any specific company, they continue to resonate with the collective memory of the World War II era and the indomitable spirit of those who lived through it.
