EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of London during World War II, a determined group of stout members of the sixth column are seen in this fanciful illustration by the renowned British comic artist, William Heath Robinson. The scene unfolds on the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, a symbol of resilience and hope amidst the chaos of war. The enemy machine gun post, a menacing presence, is relentlessly targeted by the British forces. The illustration showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the British people during wartime. The men, with their heavy weights and wheels, have devised a contraption to dislodge the enemy post. The mechanism, a clever combination of pulleys and levers, is designed to counter the weight and firepower of the enemy. The scene is filled with a sense of camaraderie and determination, as the men work together to protect their city. Heath Robinson's illustration is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the British people during World War II. The comic and humorous touch adds a unique perspective to the historical events, making it a fascinating piece of art and an important part of the wartime narrative. Courtesy of Mrs J. C.
