EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image is taken from a booklet titled "A Picture Story of the Union of South Africa," produced by the Ministry of Information during the 1940s. The photograph captures a group of South African soldiers, affectionately known as the Springboks, during their participation in the Second World War. The Springbok was the nickname given to the South African troops due to their national symbol, a springbok antelope. The soldiers are seen here in formation, wearing their military uniforms and holding their rifles. Their expressions convey a sense of determination and camaraderie, reflecting the collective effort of the Union of South Africa in supporting the Allied forces during World War II. The map in the background highlights the African continent and the various nations that contributed to the war effort. The Springboks were an integral part of the British Commonwealth Army, and their presence in Europe and North Africa played a significant role in the outcome of the war. This photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the South African soldiers during this pivotal period in world history. The thumbs-up gesture of some of the soldiers adds a touch of good humor and a sense of luck, offering a glimpse into the human side of war time. This image is a poignant snapshot of the 1940s, a decade marked by uncertainty and resilience, and it stands as a testament to the unity and fortitude of the Allied nations during World War II.
