EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a rare moment in history, as Two Women Police Sergeants of the Women's Police Service (WPS), King and Campbell, stand proudly among Canadian troops in London during World War I. The Women's Police Force, established in 1915, was a groundbreaking organization that allowed women to serve in uniformed roles during wartime, contributing to the war effort and paving the way for greater gender equality in law enforcement. The sergeants, identifiable by their distinctive peaked caps adorned with the WPS badge, are seen here outside the Canadian YMCA, affectionately known as the "Beaver Hut," on The Strand in London. Surrounding them are Canadian soldiers, some wearing kilts and sporran, adding to the vibrant and diverse atmosphere of the scene. The soldiers' hats vary, with some wearing traditional military caps, while others don berets or tam o'shanters. The photograph, taken between 1914 and 1918, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of women in uniformed service. The Women Police Service played an essential role during WWI, providing support to the military police and ensuring the safety and security of civilians in London. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the resilience, determination, and courage of the women who served during this period, challenging societal norms and making significant strides towards gender equality in the workplace.
