EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on 28 January 1938 in London, we witness a remarkable transformation of office girls into skilled marksmen. These young women, employed at the Crown Agents for the Colonies offices in Millbank, have discovered a newfound passion - rifle shooting. During their lunch breaks and even after work hours, these determined ladies flock to the basement shooting range within their workplace to hone their marksmanship skills. Their dedication is evident as they spend countless hours practicing with rifles and participating in competitions. The image captures one of these talented girls firing her rifle at the miniature range of Millbank. Her focused expression reveals her commitment to mastering this traditionally male-dominated skill. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and highlights the significance of this momentous occasion. This photograph serves as a testament to the changing roles and aspirations of women during the interwar period in Europe. It showcases how these London office girls defied societal expectations by embracing a hobby typically associated with men. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this piece offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating female empowerment and breaking gender barriers. It reminds us that determination knows no boundaries when it comes to pursuing one's passions – even if those passions involve expertly handling a rifle.
