Bicycle Bike Driver Effort Lorry Noel Push Susan Volunteers Woollens Pittman

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of two extraordinary women, Mrs. J. B. Pittman and Miss Susan Noel, who selflessly served their communities during the tumultuous year of 1939. Mrs. Pittman, dressed in her ARP (Air Raid Precautions) woollens, pedals her bicycle with determination and resolve. Her commitment to the ARP service, which was instrumental in ensuring the safety of civilians during air raids, is commendable. The caption aptly acknowledges her hard work and her impressive bicycle skills. Miss Susan Noel, on the other hand, exudes confidence and authority in her uniform as a lorry driver. The caption playfully notes her ability to look "on top of the world" while driving a lorry, just as she does when excelling in a squash court. Both women's contributions were invaluable during wartime, and their dedication and courage are a testament to the resilience and fortitude of the 1930s population. This photograph, taken in 1939, offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of ordinary people who went above and beyond to support their communities during a time of great uncertainty and adversity. The image is a reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the power of collective effort, especially during times of crisis.
