EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. W C Thiele (right) and Mrs. P Bartlett, the fearless helmsmen of patrol launches on the upper Thames Patrol (Home Guard), are captured in this remarkable photo print. Taken at Maidenhead during their active service since January 1941, these two remarkable women embody the spirit of dedication and bravery that defined the Home Front during World War II. In an era when men were called to fight on distant battlefields, Mrs. Thiele and Mrs. Bartlett took up arms of a different kind - steering their motorized patrol boats along the river's winding course, keeping a watchful eye for any signs of danger or intrusion. Their uniforms proudly display their commitment to defending our homeland against potential threats. This snapshot from the 1940s transports us back to rural scenes where these courageous women worked tirelessly day and night to ensure our safety amidst turbulent times. The Second World War brought unprecedented challenges, but it also showcased extraordinary resilience within communities across Britain. As we gaze upon this image today, let us remember not only the sacrifices made by those who fought abroad but also those who stood guard on home soil - like Mrs. Thiele and Mrs. Bartlett - protecting our rivers as vital transport routes while maintaining constant vigilance against enemy incursions. Their unwavering determination serves as a reminder that strength knows no gender boundaries; it is found in every corner of society when duty calls.
