EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming illustration from The Girls Of Today, circa 1940s, captures the spirit of unity and support during World War II. The image shows a railway porteress waving enthusiastically to the happy troops in the carriage as they head off to serve their country. The porteress, depicted with a warm smile on her face, represents the strength and resilience of women who stepped up to take on traditionally male roles during wartime. Her gesture of farewell symbolizes not only her dedication to her job but also her heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifices made by those heading off to fight. In a time when every contribution mattered, this scene serves as a reminder of the vital role played by women in keeping society running smoothly even amidst chaos and uncertainty. It is a testament to their unwavering support for the troops and their commitment to doing whatever it takes to help win the war. As we look back at this poignant moment captured by Allan Burrows, we are reminded of the courage and determination shown by women like this porteress who stood strong alongside their male counterparts during one of history's most challenging periods. Their legacy lives on in stories like these that continue to inspire future generations.
