EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the Signals Staff of the Royal Navy's base at Lyness on the Isle of Hoy, Orkney, during World War II. Dated 1943, the image presents a diverse ensemble of men and women, all dressed in their naval uniforms, gathered around what appears to be a map or communications equipment. The women, members of the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS), or 'Wrens,' are seen wearing their distinctive blue uniforms with red trim, while the men don their standard-issue naval attire. The outdoor setting, with the rugged landscape of the Isle of Hoy in the background, adds to the sense of wartime camaraderie and dedication. The image offers a personal glimpse into the lives of these individuals, who played a vital role in the communication and signaling efforts of the Royal Navy during the 1940s. The photograph, taken in 1943, is a poignant reminder of the collective efforts and sacrifices made during the Second World War.
