EDITORS COMMENTS
In the pages of The Bystander, dated September 16, 1940, the world was introduced to the newlywed couple, Hollywood actor David Niven and Primula Rollo. The image captures the moment of their marriage, with David, now Captain David Niven of the Rifle Brigade, standing proudly in his military uniform, and Primula, a wartime W.A.A.F. officer, elegantly dressed in her bridal gown. The Second World War had brought a unique blend of the home front and the battlefront into the lives of many, and this union of a beloved actor and a dedicated servicewoman was a testament to the enduring spirit of the era. David Niven, known for his charm and wit, had left his successful acting career in Hollywood to join the British military and serve his country. Primula Rollo, a young woman with a strong sense of duty, had answered the call to serve in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force. Their wedding took place in the quiet sanctuary of a London registry office, surrounded by a small gathering of family and friends. The joyous occasion was a brief respite from the harsh realities of war, providing a glimmer of hope and happiness in the midst of uncertainty. This photograph, published by The Bystander and captured by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, serves as a poignant reminder of a time when love and duty intertwined, and the sacrifices made by those on the home front were just as vital as those on the battlefront. The image of David Niven and Primula Rollo, their faces filled with love and excitement, stands as a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
