EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the height of World War II. The picture showcases Mrs Annie Kelly, a strong-willed woman who defied societal norms by taking on an extraordinary role during wartime. Here, she is seen fearlessly boring a shaft of a submarine at a factory in Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, England. As the wife of a crane driver working in the same factory, Mrs Kelly's dedication to supporting the war effort goes beyond her domestic responsibilities. Her determination and resilience symbolize the unwavering spirit of countless women who stepped up to fill vital roles traditionally held by men during this tumultuous period. Taken on 4th October 1944, this photograph serves as both a historical artifact and an emblematic representation of the home front's contribution to national defense. It reminds us that behind every piece of machinery or weapon produced lies countless hours of hard work from individuals like Mrs Kelly. Intriguingly captured by staff members at Memory Lane Prints, this image encapsulates not only the forties era but also reflects themes such as war, conflict, munitions production, and even touches upon aspects like home guard involvement. Let it serve as an enduring reminder that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary feats when united for a common cause.
