EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when the New Forest area of Hampshire was hit by a devastating blizzard. The image showcases the resilience and dedication of emergency squads from the General Post Office (GPO) as they work tirelessly to repair telegraph lines that were severely damaged during the storm. Taken on 8th December 1937, this snapshot transports us back to a time between the wars, offering a glimpse into the challenges faced by communities in Europe. In this particular scene, we see Post Office workers bravely removing a broken telegraph pole that had been knocked down by fierce winds and heavy snowfall. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to this photograph, reminding us of its historical significance. It serves as a testament to human determination in overcoming adversity, even amidst harsh weather conditions. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, an esteemed source for European press photography from that era, this image not only documents an important event but also highlights the invaluable role played by GPO squads during times of crisis. As we admire their efforts in clearing snowbound roads and restoring vital communication lines after the blizzard subsided, let us remember their unwavering commitment to serving their community.
