EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from September 1940, Evening Post chief photographer Jim Facey is seen standing proudly alongside members of the Home Guard. The image takes us back to a significant moment in history, during the height of World War II. The composition captures the essence of unity and resilience as these brave soldiers stand shoulder to shoulder with their rifles at hand. Their determined expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to protecting their homeland on the home front. As they parade together, it is evident that each member of the Home Guard carries a sense of duty and honor. Jim Facey, holding his camera firmly in one hand, epitomizes journalistic dedication amidst wartime chaos. His presence signifies the importance of documenting such crucial moments for future generations to remember and learn from. The nostalgic ambiance is further enhanced by Facey's casual cigarette dangling from his lips – an emblematic symbol often associated with soldiers during that era. It serves as a reminder that even in times of war, there were small moments when individuals sought solace or relief amidst great adversity. This print evokes a deep sense of nostalgia for those who lived through this tumultuous period while also offering younger generations a glimpse into our collective past. It stands as a testament to both the courage displayed by ordinary citizens turned defenders and the invaluable role played by journalists like Jim Facey in preserving historical memory.
