EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image from the pages of The Illustrated London News (ILN) dates back to 1952 and features Phyllis Holman Richards, a brave and selfless hero whose actions saved the lives of several people during an armed robbery. The photograph, which is now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the moment of recognition as Phyllis receives the Binney Medal for her heroism. The Binney Medal was established in 1948 by the Metropolitan Police to recognize civilians who displayed exceptional courage in the face of danger. Phyllis's story began when she was working as a cashier at a London post office. One day, as she was counting the day's receipts, two armed men entered the building and demanded that she hand over the money. Instead of complying, Phyllis bravely intervened, distracting the robbers and alerting the police. In the ensuing chaos, she managed to grab a fire extinguisher and spray it at the robbers, disarming them and allowing the police to apprehend them. The photograph shows Phyllis standing proudly, holding the Binney Medal, with a determined expression on her face. The caption beneath the image reads, "Awarded for Bravery: Phyllis Holman Richards, Cashier, Receives the Binney Medal from the Commissioner of Police." The image is a testament to the courage and quick thinking of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances and serves as a reminder of the heroism that can be found in the most unexpected places. This historical photograph is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a powerful reminder of the importance of bravery and self-sacrifice. It is a must-have for anyone interested in social history, women's history, or the history of crime and law enforcement in London.
