EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as members of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) diligently wash down an RAF lorry during World War II. The image, taken in the 1940s, showcases the vital role that women played in supporting the war effort from the home front. The WAAF was established in March 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II, to release men for active military service. Over 180,000 women served in the WAAF during the war, performing a range of roles from clerical work to radio communication, meteorology, and even driving and maintaining vehicles like the one seen here. The women in this photograph are seen working together, using buckets and brushes to clean the RAF lorry. Their determined expressions and focused demeanor convey a sense of duty and commitment to the war effort. The RAF lorry, emblazoned with the insignia of the Royal Air Force, is a reminder of the close relationship between the WAAF and the military during this time. This photograph is an important historical record of the contributions made by women during World War II. It highlights the crucial role of the WAAF in supporting the war effort and demonstrates the resilience and dedication of the women who served. The image also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people during times of war and the important role that every individual can play in shaping history.
