In this print captured by McLellan, we are transported back to the 1940s during the tumultuous times of World War II. The image showcases two remarkable women, Miss Gladys Harrison and Mrs. Winterburn, diligently working in their studio near Oxford Street. Their craft? Creating wigs for brave tank corps and RAF men who have tragically lost their hair due to burns suffered on the battlefield. The dedication and skill displayed by these women is truly awe-inspiring. Amidst a world torn apart by conflict, they tirelessly work to provide a sense of normalcy and confidence to those who have sacrificed so much for their country. With every strand meticulously placed, they weave together hope and restoration. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the resilience of individuals during wartime but also highlights the significant role that women played in supporting the war effort behind-the-scenes.
