EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the 1930s. The image showcases ARP (Air Raid Precautions) workers proudly participating in a march past at Hyde Park, London. It was on this very day, the 2nd of July in 1939, that an astounding number of 20,000 National Service Volunteers took part in this remarkable event. The atmosphere is charged with patriotism and determination as these brave individuals demonstrate their commitment to national defense services. As they march through Hyde Park's grandeur, one can only imagine the sense of unity and purpose that filled the air. Notably, King George VI himself stood witness to this awe-inspiring display of dedication by taking salute from his position. His presence adds an extra layer of significance to this historic occasion. In the backdrop of impending conflict and uncertainty that characterized the forties era, these volunteers symbolize resilience and readiness for whatever challenges lay ahead. Their selflessness serves as a reminder of how ordinary citizens played crucial roles on the home front during World War Two. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints' staff, this photograph offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment in time when individuals came together for a common cause – defending their nation against adversity.
