EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Oxford, England, during the autumn of 1942, a group of American soldiers paused to take in the breathtaking view of the Thames River. Having attended special courses at the esteemed Oxford University, these distinguished educators had opened their doors to the military personnel, offering them a unique learning experience. From left to right, we see Private Ben Terry from Chicago, Illinois, Major GW English of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Major Thomas A. Brown from Columbia, South Carolina, Corporal George Jeanette of Lowell, Massachusetts, Captain Easton from Detroit, Michigan, and Captain WD Collar hailing from Chicago, Illinois. The historic Magdalen College towers and buildings serve as a picturesque backdrop to this moment of respite. The Thames River, a constant presence in Oxford's history, flows gently beneath the ancient stone bridges, reflecting the beauty and tranquility of the university town. The soldiers, having spent their days immersed in knowledge and culture, now take a moment to appreciate the serene landscape before them. This photograph captures a brief moment in time, a testament to the enduring partnership between education and the military during wartime. The soldiers' dedication to their studies is evident in their focused expressions, while the beauty of Oxford's ancient architecture serves as a reminder of the enduring power of knowledge and the importance of continuing education, even in the midst of conflict.
