EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from the children's story book "Mumfie Marches On" by Katharine Tozer transports us back to the era of World War II, circa 1942. The image features Mumfie, a lovable elephant character, marching alongside a man in military uniform. As they walk together with determination and purpose, it is clear that they are united in their efforts during this tumultuous time.
The author's choice to include an elephant as a central character in a wartime story adds a whimsical touch to the narrative while also conveying themes of strength, resilience, and unity. Mumfie symbolizes courage and loyalty as he marches on beside his human companion, embodying the spirit of perseverance in the face of adversity.
In this poignant scene captured by Katharine Tozer's skilled hand, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by both humans and animals alike during WWII. The bond between Mumfie and his companion serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of standing together in times of crisis.
As we reflect on this touching illustration, we are inspired by Mumfie's unwavering resolve to march on despite the challenges ahead. It is through stories like these that we honor the heroes – both big and small – who played their part in shaping history during one of humanity's darkest hours.
