EDITORS COMMENTS
In Convoy: A Light-Hearted Look at WW2 Merchant Ship Convoys (1942) During the tumultuous years of the Second World War, the convoy system emerged as a vital tactic to protect merchant ships from the relentless attacks of German U-boats. This system, which was first introduced during World War I in 1917, was a crucial component of the Allied war effort, ensuring the delivery of essential supplies to the front lines. The playful and humorous image on this postcard, titled 'In Convoy,' captures the spirit of resilience and determination that defined the era. The caption reads, 'We have to gain the Victory. That is our task.' A poignant message from the Prime Minister, reminding us of the gravity of the situation. Amidst the chaos of war, innocence and humor found a way to surface, as evidenced by the cute children depicted in the illustration. The caricature, by the talented artist Madge Williams, features four little sailor boys and a girl, all eagerly peering over the side of a ship, hoping to spot a salmon in the convoy line. The image offers a delightful contrast to the harsh realities of war, providing a moment of levity and joy. The children's innocent curiosity and the salmon's elusive presence serve as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimmer of hope and a reason to smile.
