EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1944 during the Second World War. Medical officer Captain Rs Devor of South Africa can be seen embarking on his rounds in a Jeep, accompanied by Madamoiselle Dervis, a dedicated dispenser from a local hospital who acts as his interpreter. The pair is stationed in the village of Benouville in Northern France. As they traverse through the war-torn countryside, their presence brings hope and relief to the villagers who have been deprived of medical assistance since the D-Day landings. In this particular moment captured on August 4th, a concerned villager approaches Captain Devor and requests him to visit his sick daughter. The compassion and expertise displayed by Captain Devor during these visits are greatly appreciated by the people of Benouville. With limited access to medical help amidst the chaos of war, his treatment and advice provide solace and healing for those in need. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of not only the bravery exhibited by soldiers like Captain Devor but also highlights how healthcare professionals played an essential role during times of conflict. It symbolizes resilience, unity, and humanity prevailing even in dark times. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints with historical significance intact, this image captures an extraordinary moment that showcases both heroism and compassion amid one of history's most significant conflicts - World War II.
