EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the dual role of Miss Judy McCrea during the early days of World War II in London. Known for her glamorous appearances as a show girl at the renowned Windmill Theatre, Judy donned a different hat as an Air Raid Warden in the working-class district of Paddington. The image dates back to October 1939, a time when theatres were closed due to the war, forcing performers to adapt and contribute to the war effort in other ways. Judy is seen here in her ARP (Air Raid Precautions) warden uniform, holding a flashlight and map, ready to guide residents to safety during air raids. The stark contrast between her showgirl persona and her wartime role underscores the spirit of resilience and adaptability that defined the British people during this period. The photograph also serves as a poignant reminder of the home front during World War II, where women like Judy played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of their communities. The image is particularly significant given the Windmill Theatre's reputation as a venue that defied the censorship laws by keeping its nude revue open throughout the war, making it a symbol of defiance and morale-boosting entertainment for the troops and civilians alike. This photograph, with its powerful imagery and historical significance, offers a unique glimpse into the lives of Londoners during wartime and the many ways in which they came together to face the challenges of the era.
