EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of two Women Police Constables (WPCs) of the Metropolitan Police Force during the Second World War, as they patrol the streets of London wearing gas masks. The year is the 1940s, and the threat of air raids and gas attacks loomed large over the city. One of the officers, identified as Florence Bragg, joined the force in November 1936. During the war, women like Florence and her colleague played a crucial role in maintaining law and order, often working long hours in challenging conditions. The gas masks they wear were essential protective equipment, designed to shield them from the harmful effects of poisonous gases that could be released during air raids. The women's uniforms, complete with protective clothing, goggles, and gas masks, were a testament to their commitment to their duty and their willingness to put themselves in harm's way to keep their communities safe. The image of these two policewomen in their gas masks is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by women during the war, and the important role they played in breaking down gender barriers in the police force. The photograph also highlights the spirit of equality and unity that characterized the war effort, as women stepped up to take on roles traditionally held by men. This historic image is a testament to the courage and resilience of the women who served in the police force during the Second World War, and a reminder of the important contributions made by women in times of crisis.
