Framed Prints
Framed Print of Naples in Southern Italy, with its open shops displaying gloves, handbags
Naples in Southern Italy, with its open shops displaying gloves, handbags, silk stockings and artificial silk underclothes, looks like fairyland to British servicemen who have spent months in the Western Desert and North Africa.
There has been a rush to buy presents to catch the Christmas mail for England and other parts of the Empire.
An RAF photographer goes shopping with two airmen of the RAF, Corporal Derek Hodgson of Swinside, Keswick, Cumberland and LAC Edward Mawcinnitt of Mexico City, known to his friends as Pedro.
Corporal Hodgson was a quarryman before the war and enlisted in the
RAF in 1939. He spent his first war Xmas at home, the seoond in Serafin in Palestine, the third at Tmimi
in Cyreraica, the fourth at Marble Arch during the advance to Tripoli.
Mawcinnitt went to Mexico City when he was 8. In 1942 he left his general merchandise business and enlisted in the RAF Regiment as a ground gunner.
Photo Shows: Mawcinnitt buying stockings in a shop on Via Roma which still has its air raid brick protection. The assistant brought the stockings in to the street for inspection.
