EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the darkness of wartime Europe, Asia, and Africa in 1941, the light of friendship and unity shone brightly through the Girl Guides movement. This poignant Thinking Day image, sent from the 10th Dudley Troupe, captures the spirit of international solidarity that bound Girl Guides together during World War II. Thinking Day, a special day for Girl Guides and Scouts around the world to exchange ideas and learn about different cultures, took on a new meaning during this tumultuous period. The silhouettes of the Guides, huddled around candles, represent the allied forces coming together in the face of adversity. The warplanes in the background serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict that united them in their mission. The image carries a powerful message of hope and friendship during a time when the world seemed to be torn apart. Girl Guides from Europe, Africa, and Asia, once divided by geography and culture, were now united in their shared experiences and values. The global Girl Guiding community came together, sending messages of support and solidarity to one another, reminding each other that they were not alone. This historical photograph is a testament to the enduring power of friendship and unity, even in the darkest of times. The 10th Dudley Troupe's Thinking Day image stands as a symbol of hope and resilience, a reminder that even in the midst of war, the bonds of sisterhood and friendship remained strong.
