EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and courage of the London Fire Brigade's Women's Dispatch Riders during their training sessions in 1942. The image shows a group of women, dressed in leather jackets and helmets, intently listening to a lecture given by an instructor on a makeshift stage. In the background, motorbikes with sidecars are lined up, ready for use. During World War II, the London Fire Brigade's Women's Dispatch Riders played a crucial role in the war effort. They were responsible for delivering essential supplies and messages to fire stations and other emergency services, often in dangerous and challenging conditions. The dispatch riders were an integral part of the fire brigade's transport section, which was responsible for ensuring that fire engines and other emergency vehicles were able to respond quickly and effectively to incidents. The women in this photograph are shown in a classroom setting, likely learning the skills they would need to navigate the streets of London and deliver messages and supplies efficiently and safely. The blackboard behind the instructor is filled with important information, including maps and diagrams that would have been essential for the women to memorize. The image is a powerful reminder of the vital role that women played in the war effort during the 1940s. Despite the challenges and dangers they faced, they proved themselves to be capable and dedicated members of the London Fire Brigade, making invaluable contributions to the war effort and paving the way for future generations of women in emergency services.
