Belgian postal workers and war memorial

Finding number: POST 118/1758

This photograph is one of several taken of a group of French and Belgian postal workers in 1947. They were invited expressly by the Postmaster General. They were representatives of the French and Belgian Resistance movements during the Second World War.

Another photograph of the group appeared in the January 1947 Post Office Magazine. The article is entitled 'French and Belgian Postmen visit London'. The author says of the group's visit:

"from the talk we hear passing round it is going to be a 'bit of a do'."
