EDITORS COMMENTS
The Mayor of Reading, Councillor W. E. C. McIlroy, stands tall and proud as he inspects the brave members of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) in this photo print. Taken during the heart-wrenching times of the Second World War on 11th June 1942, this image encapsulates a crucial moment in history. As war raged on and uncertainty loomed over every city, The Mayor took it upon himself to personally inspect these courageous women who had joined the ATS. Dressed immaculately in their military uniforms, these dedicated individuals stood shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts to serve their country. The display was held right at the heart of Reading's city centre, symbolizing unity and resilience amidst chaos. The Mayor's presence not only boosted morale but also highlighted his unwavering support for those risking their lives for freedom. In an era dominated by conflict and hardship, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by both men and women on the home front. It showcases not only the strength and determination of our armed forces but also emphasizes how women played an integral role in supporting them. Preserved through time by Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot immortalizes a significant moment when civic duty met military dedication.
