Chopping and Peeling - Women at an A. T. S. Cooking Centre during the Second World War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken in 1944 by Anthony Gross, offers a glimpse into the vital role played by women in Britain's war effort. The image showcases a group of dedicated Auxiliary Territorial Service (A. T. S. ) members preparing food at a cooking centre somewhere in Britain. With determination etched on their faces, these remarkable women skillfully chop and peel vegetables on wooden boards, showcasing their culinary prowess amidst challenging times. Their efforts were crucial in ensuring that soldiers and civilians alike received nourishing meals during the war. The vibrant colors captured by Gross bring this historical moment to life, emphasizing both the resilience of these women and the importance of their work. As they diligently carry out their tasks indoors, surrounded by shelves filled with cookbooks and utensils, one can sense the camaraderie that must have existed within this close-knit community. This powerful painting is featured in John Hampson's book "The English At Table" published in 1944. It serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary individuals contributed to extraordinary circumstances during this tumultuous period. Gross's watercolor masterpiece now resides within London's Imperial War Museum—a testament to the enduring legacy of those who selflessly served their country throughout World War II.
