EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determined spirit of Women Police Officer Shirley Cameron Becke (nee Jennings) during her service in the Metropolitan Police Force in London during the 1940s. As WPC 55C Jennings, she is seen here on duty with a colleague, both wearing air raid helmets, protecting the citizens of Central London during the tumultuous Second World War. The image showcases the resilience and courage of women in uniform, who played a crucial role in maintaining law and order during this period of great upheaval. Shirley Becke's career in the police force began in the late 1930s, and she went on to make history as the Commander of the Metropolitan Police's A4 (Women's) Branch from 1966 to 1973. Her tenure marked a significant milestone in the fight for gender equality and women's rights in employment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, with its intricate details of the officers' uniforms, including their jackets with buttons, belts, and armbands, as well as their gloves and helmets. The image also highlights the sense of duty and camaraderie between the two women, as they walk along the pavement, keeping watch over the buildings and streets of London. This photograph is an essential reminder of the vital contributions made by women in law enforcement during wartime, and the strides made towards women's equality and employment opportunities in the police force and beyond.
