EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during a rehearsal by members of the Guide International Service for mass food preparation and serving in the open air. The year was 1944, and the Second World War raged across Europe. Amidst the chaos and devastation, the Guide International Service, an organization of volunteer girls and women, answered the call to provide relief and aid to those in need. In this image, we see the guides in their blue uniforms, each with a specific role in the food preparation and serving process. They are focused and determined, their expressions a testament to their commitment to making a difference. The scene is set in the great outdoors, with the sun casting long shadows and the trees in the background, adding a sense of tranquility amidst the turmoil. The guides are queued up, each holding a tray or utensil, waiting for their turn to perform their task. The queue stretches out, demonstrating the scale of the operation and the sheer number of people involved. The food preparation and serving process was a crucial aspect of the relief camps, ensuring that the displaced and hungry were provided with nourishing meals. The Guide International Service played a vital role in the humanitarian efforts during the Second World War, with their volunteers working tirelessly to provide aid and support to those affected by the conflict. This photograph is a poignant reminder of their selfless dedication and the important work they undertook during a time of great need.
