Welcome to Durban: A Vibrant and Colorful Greeting to Allied Personnel in South Africa during World War Two This cover image, titled "Welcome to Durban," is a historical snapshot of the lively and welcoming spirit that greeted British service men and women as they arrived in Durban, South Africa, during World War Two. Compiled and published by the Durban Publicity Association, this leaflet aimed to provide a warm and informative welcome to the thousands of Allied personnel who were training in South Africa between 1939 and 1943. The cover design, featuring a cheerful and inviting scene, is a testament to the rich cultural diversity and vibrant energy of Durban during this time. The striking contrast between the blue sea and the khaki-clad soldiers, sailors, and nurses, as well as the RAF airmen, creates a sense of unity and camaraderie among the Allied forces. The soldiers and sailors are depicted in formation, while the nurses and airmen stand proudly at attention, reflecting the disciplined and organized nature of the military training that took place in Durban. The cover also highlights the warm and welcoming nature of the local population, with the smiling faces of African children and adults in the background, extending a glad hand to the Allied personnel. The image conveys a sense of hope and optimism in the face of the challenges and hardships of war, and serves as a poignant reminder of the global solidarity and unity that characterized the Allied effort during World War Two. This cover image, taken from a leaflet published in 1943, is a valuable historical document that offers a unique insight into the experiences of Allied personnel in Durban during World War Two. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of friendship and cooperation that existed between the Allied forces and the local population, and serves as a reminder of the important role that South Africa played in the Allied war effort.
