EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a remarkable encounter between two brave and dedicated Service sisters amidst the chaos of the Second World War. Third Officer "Bunny". Grist of the WRNS has spent an arduous two and a half years serving her country in various locations across South Africa, Ceylon, and India. Little did she know that fate had something extraordinary in store for her. During a chance meeting in Delhi, Bunny was reunited with her beloved sister Sergeant Eva Grist who had embarked on an adventure to South East Asia as part of the first group of RAF airwomen. The sheer coincidence of finding themselves both stationed in Delhi is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Hailing from 154A College Road, London, these courageous siblings are captured together on a rare shopping trip through New Delhi's bustling streets. The photograph exudes their unwavering bond as they stand side by side, embodying strength and resilience during such tumultuous times. This snapshot encapsulates not only their personal story but also represents the countless families torn apart by war yet still finding solace and connection amidst the turmoil. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by women like Bunny and Eva who fearlessly served their nation alongside their male counterparts. As we delve into this moment frozen in time - August 1945 - let us reflect upon the indomitable spirit displayed by these incredible sisters while honoring all those who fought valiantly during World War II.
