EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to Cornwall in May 1943. The image captures Commander Walder, R. N. (retired) and his wife, who have opened their hearts and home to five evacuated boys and a girl from the blitzed cities during World War Two. Commander Walder had one condition when taking these children under his care - absolute control over them. As a former Naval officer, he firmly believes in discipline and instilling values that would shape these young lives for the better. The photograph showcases a heartwarming moment known as the "pay day" parade. It is evident that Commander Walder's strict yet caring approach has made an impact on these children as they proudly display their achievements with beaming smiles on their faces. This snapshot serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by families during wartime and highlights the compassion shown by individuals like Commander Walder who stepped up to provide stability and love amidst chaos. Arthur McNeill, Beryl Hunt, Donald Fowles, Edwin McNeill, Jimmy Fowles, Stanley McNeill - names forever etched into history through this remarkable photograph capturing a small but significant chapter of their lives during those turbulent years. As we delve into this slice of life from the 1940s Home Front era, it becomes clear that even in times of conflict there were rays of hope shining through - embodied by Commander Walder's unwavering dedication to shaping young minds while nurturing resilience within them
