EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative line drawing, titled 'MTC Member, Britannia and Eve,' captures the spirit of women's contributions to the war effort during World War II. The image depicts a member of the Mechanised Transport Corps (MTC), a voluntary organisation for civilians who were unable to join the full-time Women's Auxiliary Services. The MTC played a crucial role in providing much-needed transportation services to various government departments and agencies. The woman in the drawing wears the distinctive MTC uniform, complete with a peaked cap adorned with the organisation's insignia. Her determined expression and the image of Britannia, the goddess of war, and Eve, the embodiment of motherhood and fertility, in the background, symbolise the dual role women played during this period - as both nurturers and warriors. The MTC was formed in response to the pressing need for additional manpower and resources as the war intensified. Women volunteered in droves, eager to do their part in the war effort. They underwent rigorous training to become skilled drivers and mechanics, often working long hours under challenging conditions. This poignant line drawing serves as a reminder of the immense sacrifices and vital contributions made by women during the 2nd World War. It is a testament to their resilience, courage, and determination in the face of adversity, and a powerful symbol of the important role women continue to play in shaping history.
