EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the era of World War II, where women played a crucial role in supporting the war effort. Titled "World War II Women: Post Office are taking on girls at school from the age of 14 onwards" this image captures a significant moment in history. In December 1943, young girls aged 14 and above were enlisted by the Post Office to assist with Christmas sorting. These determined teenagers underwent a course of instruction before being assigned to actual sorting rooms for work. This was an important task that had previously been predominantly carried out by men. The scene depicted in this photograph showcases an instruction room filled with focused young women learning their duties using cards marked with various towns. The dedication and commitment exuded by these girls is evident as they prepare themselves for their vital roles within the post office. It is worth noting that the London County Council (L. C. C. ) supported this initiative by allowing these girls to temporarily suspend their regular school courses, recognizing the significance of their contribution during wartime. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how women stepped up during times of conflict, breaking barriers and proving their capabilities beyond societal expectations. It symbolizes strength, resilience, and unity as these brave young women worked tirelessly from 9 am till 5 pm to ensure efficient communication amidst chaos. As we delve into this snapshot from history, let us honor these unsung heroes who played an integral part in shaping our world today.
