EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Thomas Lea, we are transported back to February 1940 during the tumultuous times of World War II. The image showcases the brave Trawlermen Gunner Liston, Jamieson, and Steel aboard the North Sea trawler, Star of the Isles. As they navigate through treacherous waters, their duty extends beyond fishing as they diligently fill Lewis drums with bullets. Amidst a backdrop of uncertainty and danger, these courageous men exemplify unwavering determination in supporting the war effort. Their hands work swiftly yet methodically as they prepare ammunition that will aid in defending their nation against enemy forces. Each bullet represents a small but significant contribution towards victory. Leaning against barrels filled with rounds of ammunition, Liston stands on the right while Jamieson stands on his left. Their expressions reveal both focus and resolve - traits necessary for survival in such perilous circumstances. Steel's presence completes this powerful tableau; together they form an unbreakable bond forged by shared experiences at sea. This poignant snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the resilience and sacrifice exhibited by ordinary individuals during extraordinary times. It reminds us of those who risked everything to protect our freedom and serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos, humanity can find strength within itself to prevail over adversity.
