EDITORS COMMENTS
Whitley Bay Post Office workers, clad in their uniforms and donning gas masks, gather for a crucial air raid precaution training session. This powerful photograph captures the resilience and determination of these individuals during the tumultuous times of the 1930s. It serves as a poignant reminder of the impact that World War Two had on every aspect of society, even reaching postal workers on the home front. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a small group of people who were not directly involved in combat but still played an essential role in maintaining communication amidst chaos. With their gas masks securely fastened, they symbolize both preparedness and vulnerability as they brace themselves for potential chemical attacks. The year is 1938, just before war broke out across Europe. The looming threat hangs heavy over Whitley Bay as these brave men and women undergo rigorous training to protect themselves from deadly gases that could be unleashed upon them at any moment. This image evokes emotions ranging from admiration for their unwavering dedication to somber reflection on the sacrifices made by ordinary citizens during wartime. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by NCJ's lens, let us remember those who stood strong on the home front while our world was engulfed in conflict.
