The image beautifully captures a heartwarming scene, as families in this war-torn city find solace and comfort in a simple cup of tea. Dated 18th May 1942, at the height of the conflict, it showcases how even amidst chaos and uncertainty, acts of kindness can bring relief to those affected by war. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness soldiers and residents coming together on a street corner to share a momentary respite from their daily struggles.
