EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of post-war camaraderie and celebration at Fulford Barracks in Preston, Lancashire, in 1946. The image features a group of smartly dressed officers and staff of the Civilian Reception Centre (CRE), along with their guests, enjoying an evening of dining and dancing. The men are resplendent in their uniforms, some in full military regalia, while the women are elegantly attired in 1940s dresses, their hair styled in the fashion of the time. The scene is set in the grand dining hall of the barracks, with tables laden with fine china and silverware, and a dance floor filled with couples twirling and laughing. The atmosphere is one of joy and relief, as the people of Preston and the surrounding areas came together to mark the end of the Second World War and the beginning of a new era. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the social scenes that defined the 1940s, and the resilience and spirit of the British people during a pivotal century in their history.
