Edward L Fisher, the Last Recruit to Enroll in the 48th Division Signals at their HQ
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph from April 17th, 1939, we witness a significant moment in history. Edward L Fisher stands tall as he becomes the final recruit to join the esteemed ranks of the 48th Division Signals at their headquarters in Cateswell House, Hall Green, Birmingham. This pivotal event brought the division up to full wartime strength. The image captures a sense of anticipation and determination as Captain R M Chatterley sits beside Fisher with pride. The two men symbolize an era defined by sacrifice and unity as they prepare for what lies ahead. Set against a backdrop of uncertainty and looming conflict, this snapshot encapsulates both hope and trepidation that characterized Britain during World War II's early years. It serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary individuals like Edward L Fisher played an extraordinary role in defending our nation. This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a time when recruitment was exclusive to men only. It immortalizes not just one man's enlistment but also represents countless others who answered their country's call during those tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, it evokes feelings of gratitude for those who served bravely and reminds us never to forget their sacrifices on behalf of freedom and peace.
