EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, a young boy named Timmy stands resolute in his determination to contribute to the nation's food efforts. With his father, a Merchant Navy sailor, away at sea, Timmy takes it upon himself to plant a seed in the family's small garden. This poignant illustration, circa 1940s, encapsulates the spirit of children and families during wartime, who were encouraged to grow their own food to help alleviate the strain on resources. The image is reminiscent of the popular children's book "March of the Women," which depicted the resilience and resourcefulness of the British people during the war. The boy's focused expression and the simple tools at his disposal - a watering can and a seed packet - serve as a testament to the collective efforts that kept the nation going during those challenging times. The Merchant Navy sailor, who is a vital part of the global supply chain, is absent from the scene, but his presence is felt through the determination of his son. This illustration is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience that defined the home front during the 2nd World War.
