EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print from the Sheffield City Archives captures a significant moment in history - the formation of the Sheffield Invasion Committee during World War II. The image showcases a group of determined individuals, united by their shared mission to ensure that Sheffield remains prepared for any potential invasion. The committee members are seen gathered around a table, engrossed in deep discussion and planning. Their serious expressions reflect the gravity of the situation they faced during those tumultuous times. The room is adorned with an array of eye-catching posters, prominently displaying one powerful message: "Sheffield must be ready. . . in case of invasion - Don't Panic". These words serve as a constant reminder to all who see them that fear should not paralyze but rather motivate action and preparation. The poster's bold typography and vibrant colors add an element of urgency to its call-to-action. This print offers us a glimpse into the resilience and determination exhibited by ordinary citizens turned defenders in times of crisis. It serves as a testament to Sheffield's unwavering spirit amidst adversity. Preserved within the Local Studies MP 1720 L collection at Sheffield City Archives, this photograph stands as an invaluable historical artifact, reminding us of our collective duty to protect our communities even in dire circumstances. Let it inspire future generations never to forget the sacrifices made by those who came before us and always remain vigilant against any threat that may arise on our doorstep.
