EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a pivotal moment in London's history, as Royal Engineers and men of the Pioneer Corps are shown hard at work unloading ships at Surrey Docks in August 1945. The drawing depicts these men under Government orders, stepping in to take over the duties of the usual dockers who were on strike due to a pay dispute.
During this time, the dockers were engaged in an eight-week Go slow strike, causing an import slowdown and disrupting the flow of goods through the docks. In response, these dedicated individuals were drafted into Surrey Docks to ensure that essential supplies continued to be unloaded efficiently.
The image serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination displayed by those involved during this challenging period in history. It highlights not only their commitment to their work but also their willingness to step up when needed for the greater good.
This snapshot from 1945 provides us with a glimpse into a significant moment in London's past, showcasing both the importance of teamwork and adaptability during times of crisis. The actions taken by these Royal Engineers and members of the Pioneer Corps played a crucial role in maintaining operations at Surrey Docks amidst labor unrest.
