Taken in February 1941, it showcases the Post Office members of the Home Guard on their Sunday morning parade at the Orchard Street sorting office in Newcastle. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a large group of men proudly donning military uniforms as they march together with determination and unity. These brave postal workers turned soldiers stand tall, embodying resilience and dedication to protect their homeland amidst war. The image evokes a sense of camaraderie and patriotism as these individuals fulfill their duty on the home front. Their presence serves as a reminder that every citizen played an essential role during times of conflict.
