EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we catch a glimpse of Commander Bill Boaks diligently working in his one-man staffed office at his Kingston home. As election time approaches, the atmosphere is buzzing with activity for this determined political figure. For over three decades, Commander Bill Boaks has tirelessly strived to secure a seat in Parliament, yet fate seems to elude him each time. In fact, he has lost an astonishing sum of over £2000 in deposits due to his repeated unsuccessful attempts. The year is 1979, and amidst the vibrant backdrop of London's bustling streets, Lieutenant Commander William George Boaks stands out as an eccentric and unwavering advocate for change. A former Royal Navy officer, he channels his passion into various causes such as road safety and political reform. Julian Brown's lens captures not only the physicality of Commander Bill Boaks' printing activities but also hints at the determination etched on his face. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that some individuals are driven by an unrelenting spirit even when faced with countless setbacks. As we delve into this snapshot from the 20th century, let us reflect on the resilience exemplified by Commander Bill Boaks—a man who refuses to be deterred by failure and continues to fight for what he believes in against all odds.
