EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the tumultuous days of World War II. The image captures the crew of H. M. S. Norman, a British naval ship, coming together for a noble cause - their beloved mascot Queenie. It is December 1945, and amidst the remnants of war, these brave men have organized a whip-round amongst themselves to collect £24 in order to provide six months' worth of quarantine for Queenie. The loyalty and compassion displayed by these sailors towards their furry companion is truly remarkable. As they pose proudly with Queenie in front of them, one can almost feel the bond that has been forged between man and animal during those challenging times. Their dedication to ensuring her health and well-being speaks volumes about the camaraderie that existed among servicemen during World War II. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the incredible sacrifices made by our armed forces but also reminds us of the importance animals played in boosting morale on board ships like H. M. S. Norman. Dogs like Queenie provided comfort, companionship, and an unwavering source of joy amidst the chaos surrounding them. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot frozen in time, let us remember all those who served bravely during World War II - both human and animal alike - and honor their enduring spirit that carried them through even the darkest moments.
