EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1916 by Bedford Lemere and Co, transports us back to the heart of the First World War. Inside the Waring & Gillow Factory on Cambridge Road in Hammersmith, London, a group of women and boys are seen diligently painting aircraft wings. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of urgency as these skilled workers contribute their part to support the war effort. The image showcases both the determination and resilience of those who played crucial roles behind the scenes during this tumultuous period. With brushes in hand, they meticulously coat each wing with paint, knowing that their efforts will aid pilots soaring through treacherous skies above enemy lines. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary individuals were thrust into extraordinary circumstances during times of conflict. These factory workers may have been far removed from battlefields, but their contribution was no less significant. Through this photograph held within Historic England Archive's vast collection, we gain insight into an era defined by sacrifice and unity. It immortalizes not only the machinery being produced for warfare but also pays homage to those unsung heroes whose dedication helped shape history.
