EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a determined and triumphant moment in the aftermath of the First World War, as a group of Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS), also known as Wrens, lead the Victory March through the streets of London on 19th July 1919. Dame Catherine Furse, the Director of the WRNS, is seen at the head of the procession, her stern expression and raised hand guiding the women in their military precision. The Wrens, dressed in their distinctive blue uniforms, march proudly with their heads held high, their faces reflecting a sense of accomplishment and pride. The Victory March marked the end of the war and the return to civilian life for many servicemen and women, and the participation of the WRNS in this historic event underscored their crucial role in the war effort. The photograph is a testament to the indomitable spirit and resilience of these women, who answered the call to serve their country in unprecedented ways during a time of great upheaval and change.
