EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures four determined women police officers at work in the aftermath of World War II at the Women's Police Section (WEC) in London. Seated at the desk, Sergeant Patricia May Atkinson, who joined the Metropolitan Police Force in August 1946, presides over her team with quiet authority. To her left is Constable Ada Sandy, who began her service in July 1928, her stern expression reflecting the gravity of her duties. Constable Patricia Gair, who joined in September 1941, stands behind the sergeant, her white shirt, tie, and armband emblematic of her commitment to the force. Constable Florence Bragg, a veteran of the force since November 1936, completes the quartet, her focused gaze on the parquet floor as she attends to her duties. The photograph, taken in 1946, is a testament to the resilience and dedication of these women officers during a time of great change and upheaval. Their uniforms, with their crisp white shirts, ties, and jackets, speak to the sense of equality and professionalism that defined the Women's Police Section during the 1940s. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the vital role women played in the Metropolitan Police Force during a pivotal moment in history.
