EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by John Topham, we are transported back to the year 1939, between the wars. The image showcases a group of determined cadets from the training ship HMS Worcester, which is affiliated with the prestigious Thames Nautical Training College in Greenhithe, Kent. These young boys can be seen pulling hard on their oars as they navigate through the serene river waters. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from the past. It serves as a reminder of a time when Europe was on the brink of another devastating conflict - World War Two. As we gaze upon these naval cadets rowing together in perfect synchrony, it's impossible not to feel a sense of admiration for their dedication and discipline. This photograph captures an era where youth were trained rigorously for future challenges that lay ahead. The image encapsulates both innocence and determination; traits that would soon be tested amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war. John Topham's remarkable work allows us to glimpse into history and appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance behind each captured moment. This particular print serves as a poignant tribute to those who served during wartime while simultaneously evoking feelings of pride and respect for these young cadets who bravely prepared themselves for what was yet to come.
