EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative silhouette, a Land Girl from the Second World War is depicted taking her beloved pet for a walk amidst the backdrop of a bustling wartime landscape. The year is 1939-1945, and the world has been plunged into darkness as the Second World War rages on. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, the simple act of taking a dog for a walk becomes a moment of respite and connection for this brave woman. Dressed in practical jodphurs and trousers, she holds a long stick in one hand, while the other cradles the collar of her energetic terrier or Scottie dog. The silhouette of the woman's figure is framed against the setting sun, casting a warm glow over the scene. The dog, with its eager expression and wagging tail, seems to embody the unwavering spirit of loyalty and companionship that animals provide in times of hardship. The image, captured by renowned photographer H.L. Oakley, is a poignant reminder of the human connection to animals during wartime. It also highlights the important role that Land Girls played in the war effort, working tirelessly on the home front to support the troops and keep the country running. This powerful silhouette is a testament to the enduring bond between people and their pets, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
