EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and poignant image captured on July 28th, 1941, Alderman Kelly, the Mayor of Bootle, can be seen pinning the Scouts Silver Cross for Gallantry to the flag of one of the three troops who earned this prestigious award. These brave young boys were recognized for their gallant work as ARP messengers during air raids on Merseyside throughout World War Two. Liverpool endured immense suffering and countless casualties during the relentless blitz from August 28th, 1940 to January 10th, 1942. Amidst this turmoil and destruction, these teenagers took on a tremendous responsibility in serving as messengers between various points within the city's air raid precaution system. The photograph captures a moment that symbolizes both bravery and honor. The young scouts stand tall with their heads held high while being honored by their mayor. The Union Jack proudly flutters in the background as a testament to their unwavering dedication to protecting their community during wartime. This snapshot from history serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage displayed by ordinary individuals thrust into extraordinary circumstances. It is an enduring tribute not only to these remarkable scouts but also to all those who selflessly served on Liverpool's home front during World War Two.
