EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative cover of a souvenir brochure from Montevideo, Uruguay, dates back to September 1943. The image was published by the Municipal Office of Propaganda and Information as a token of gratitude and friendship towards the soldiers of Great Britain, who had defended the liberty of the world during the ongoing Second World War. Uruguay, a neutral country until February 1945 when it officially joined the Allied forces, maintained a firm stance against the Axis powers under the leadership of President Alfredo Baldomir. The cover art depicts various scenes from Montevideo, showcasing the city's vibrant urban life and picturesque waterfront. The inscription reads, "To the soldiers of Great Britain, defenders of the liberty of the world," expressing the deep appreciation and solidarity of the Uruguayan people towards the British forces. The brochure served as a cherished memory of their stay in Montevideo during the war. The cover design is a testament to the unique relationship that existed between Uruguay and Great Britain during this period. The British soldiers, who were stationed in the region, were welcomed with open arms by the locals, who saw them as defenders of freedom and democracy. This souvenir brochure is a fascinating historical artifact that sheds light on the wartime experiences of Montevideo and the strong bonds of friendship that were forged during those trying times.
