War on the Rats: Dean, December 20th, 1943 - The relentless battle against the rat infestation continues unabated. Since the campaign commenced in November, over half a million rats have met their demise. Employing a cunning strategy, these vermin are lured with tantalizing morsels infused with lethal poison strategically placed within their underground tunnels and sewers. With hopes high, it is anticipated that by year's end, this extermination effort will claim over one million lives. In this print captured in December 1943, an official emerges triumphantly from the depths of a sewer system clutching his latest kill. His determined expression reflects both the gravity of this ongoing struggle and the satisfaction derived from each successful elimination. During these tumultuous times of World War II when every resource counts towards victory, combating such pests becomes crucial to maintaining health and morale among troops and civilians alike. This image serves as a testament to humanity's unwavering resolve even amidst global conflict – no enemy shall go unchallenged. As we delve into history through Memory Lane Prints' remarkable collection, let us remember not only the heroic battles fought on distant shores but also those waged right beneath our feet against unseen adversaries like these resilient rodents.
