EDITORS COMMENTS
Alan Brigden and John Huddins, the two boys who were rescued from Dartford Lake, Kent (1939)". This print captures a moment of relief and gratitude as Alan Brigden and John Huddins stand side by side. The year is 1939, a time between the wars when innocence was still cherished amidst growing uncertainty in Europe. The image showcases these young boys wearing their school uniforms against a backdrop of a wooden fence. Their mischievous smiles hint at youthful naughtiness that may have led them astray to Dartford Lake. However, it was this very lake that became the setting for their remarkable rescue. In this monochrome photograph taken by John Topham, we witness the resilience of childhood friendship as well as the power of community coming together in times of crisis. The expressions on their faces tell tales of both fear and relief - fear for what could have been lost forever in those treacherous waters, but also immense gratitude for being saved. As we gaze upon this piece from the twentieth century archives, let us remember not only these brave young souls but also all those whose lives were touched by similar acts of heroism during uncertain times. May this photo serve as a reminder that even amidst darkness, there is always hope shining through.
