EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured in the 1940s, we are transported back to a time of resilience and determination during World War Two. The soapbox transport company incorporated and unlimited can be seen lined up outside the railway station at Kirkham Lancs, ready to serve their purpose. These young boys, with an entrepreneurial spirit beyond their years, recognized the need for transportation services for the kit bags and luggage of countless service personnel arriving heavily burdened at the station. At the forefront of this remarkable group stands a boy exuding confidence and professionalism as he attends to his customer - an American soldier. With pride shining through his eyes, he takes charge of ensuring that this brave serviceman's belongings are safely carried away. This heartwarming image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit exhibited by children on the home front during times of war. Their innocence juxtaposed with their sense of duty is truly endearing. As we reflect upon this snapshot from history, let us remember these unsung heroes who played their part in supporting those fighting on distant battlefields. This print by Thompson reminds us that even amidst conflict, acts of kindness and enterprise can flourish – leaving an everlasting impact on our collective memory.
