EDITORS COMMENTS
In a heartfelt gesture of gratitude, Commander P. Crockett of the United States Navy presented Mayor Alderman W. G. Low with a symbol of appreciation for the warm hospitality extended by Dartmouth town to American sailors during World War II. This print captures the historic moment at the renowned Dartmouth Royal Naval College, which was temporarily occupied by the US Navy. The image showcases Mayor Low inspecting a formation of United States Navy bluejackets, their uniforms proudly displaying their dedication and service to their country. The date etched in history is April 8th, 1945 - a time when conflict engulfed nations and alliances were forged in pursuit of peace. This snapshot from the forties transports us back to an era defined by sacrifice and camaraderie amidst global turmoil. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of war, acts of kindness can bridge divides and foster understanding between nations. Lewis's expertly captured photograph encapsulates not only this significant exchange but also pays homage to Devon's role in supporting those who fought valiantly for freedom during World War II. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded that it is through unity and appreciation that lasting bonds are formed.
