EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite and camaraderie during the chaotic and challenging times of World War II. The image shows a Chinese-American member of the United Seamans Service (USS) playing pool or snooker at the USS club in London during the Christmas season of 1944. Founded in 1942, the USS was an essential organization that promoted the welfare of American seafarers and their dependents, as well as seafarers of all nations, US government military and civilian personnel, and other individuals engaged in the maritime industry. With the vast number of ports around the world that supported the war effort, there were many more USS centers in operation during this time than there are today, with only seven remaining open. The USS flag and banner proudly displayed in the background serve as a reminder of the sense of community and support that the organization provided to its members during the trying times of war. The man, intently focused on his game, holds a cue in his hand, ready to make his next move. The billiards table, a familiar sight in many clubs and bars, offers a sense of normalcy and leisure amidst the turmoil of war. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of community and connection, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
