EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, Group Captain Harry Day finds solace and tranquility in the warmth of his own fireside at his charming country house, The Thatched Cottage in Wanneck, Sussex. Beside him sits his eldest daughter Jacqueline, a proud member of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WaF). Group Captain Day is not just an ordinary man; he is renowned for his incredible bravery and resilience during the war. Having made eight daring escapes from captivity, he has become a symbol of courage and determination. His remarkable achievements have been recognized with prestigious accolades such as the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) and Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE). This poignant photograph captures a rare moment of peace for Group Captain Day after years spent fighting on the front lines. With a gentle smile gracing his face, it is evident that he cherishes these quiet moments surrounded by loved ones in the comfort of home. Taken on January 15th, 1946, this monochrome portrait exudes nostalgia for a time when family values were cherished amidst post-war challenges.
