EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of three remarkable women who played essential roles in the London Fire Brigade during World War II. Taken on 10 November 1941, the image features, from left to right, Mrs B W Cuthbert, Group Commander of London; Mrs M E Oddy, Acting Company Officer of London, who had joined the Women's Auxiliary Fire Service (WAAF) in July 1938; and Mrs J Hicks, Assistant Section Officer from Barnes, previously a Science teacher. During the Blitz, these women were appointed to London headquarters to work in the recruitment and employment of women in the National Fire Service (NFS). As the war intensified, the need for more firefighters became critical, and women were called upon to answer the call. These women staff officers were instrumental in processing applications, conducting interviews, and assigning roles to new recruits, ensuring that the London Fire Brigade was staffed with capable and dedicated personnel. The women are seen here in their AFS uniforms, each with a stack of papers on their desks, indicating the volume of work they handled. Their expressions convey a sense of focus and commitment, as they worked tirelessly to support their country during this pivotal moment in history. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital contributions made by women during the war effort on the home front. It also highlights the important role of the London Fire Brigade in protecting the city during one of its most challenging periods. The image is a testament to the courage, dedication, and professionalism of these women, who played a crucial part in the defense of London during World War II.
