EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Two members of the AFS" captures a powerful moment in history. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, it showcases two brave women who were part of the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) during World War II. The image is from a private collection and was used as an illustration for Margaret Biddle's book, "The Women of England" published in 1941. In this thought-provoking photograph, we witness the unwavering determination and resilience of these two female AFS members. Their contribution to the war effort is evident as they stand proudly amidst rubble and destruction caused by German bombings. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by women during wartime. With its historical significance, this print sheds light on not only British culture but also on the broader European context during this tumultuous period. It symbolizes unity among nations such as Germany and Great Britain within their shared struggle against fascism. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of how photographs can serve as powerful tools for propaganda or documentation purposes. They allow us to reflect upon our past while honoring those who played significant roles in shaping our present world.
