EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from a WW2 children's story book, titled "Knocker Gregory," captures a poignant moment during the tumultuous era of World War II. The scene depicts a large military man, presumably Knocker Gregory himself, grabbing the hand of a servicewoman in what appears to be a gesture of support and camaraderie. Mr. Penny, another character in the story, looks on with a mix of concern and admiration.
The artist has skillfully captured the tension and uncertainty of wartime through this powerful image. The expressions on the characters' faces convey both determination and fear as they navigate the challenges brought about by war.
The setting is unmistakably 1940s, with detailed depictions of military uniforms and hairstyles that reflect the time period accurately. This illustration serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War II, including women who played crucial roles in supporting the war effort.
As we look at this print today, we are reminded of the bravery and resilience shown by people like Knocker Gregory and his fellow servicewomen. Their stories deserve to be remembered and honored for generations to come.
