EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in Cairo, Egypt on June 2,1967, we witness a remarkable moment of bravery and determination. A female member of the Futewa, or National Guard battalions composed of UAR student volunteers, fearlessly pulls the pin from a hand grenade using her teeth during intense training at a camp. The image encapsulates the spirit of these courageous women who dedicated themselves to serving their country. With military uniforms donned and weapons in hand, they exemplify strength and resilience amidst challenging times. As part of their rigorous preparation for duty, a total of 113 Futewa battalions were established in Cairo alone while an additional 30 were formed in Alexandria. This historic photograph captures not only an iconic moment but also reflects the significant role played by women within the armed forces during this era. The monochromatic tones add depth to the scene as it highlights both the seriousness and historical significance behind this powerful image. Taken outdoors under daylight conditions with vintage photography techniques employed, this snapshot transports us back to a pivotal period in Egyptian history. It serves as a testament to the dedication and sacrifice made by countless students turned soldiers who trained relentlessly to protect their nation. Courtesy of Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this extraordinary print provides us with an invaluable glimpse into one chapter of Egypt's military past that should never be forgotten.
