Employment Gas Masks Kitchen Occupations War Effort Bread Making Kneading Odours Smelly
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints captures a unique moment during the Second World War. Taken in June 1941 at a WW2 Army cookery school, it showcases women wearing gas masks while attentively watching a cookery demonstration. In this extraordinary image, we witness the resilience and determination of these women who played an essential role in the war effort. Despite the unsettling presence of gas masks on their faces, they remain focused on learning valuable skills to support their country's needs. The setting is a bustling kitchen where bread making is taking place. The women can be seen engaged in various tasks such as kneading dough and preparing ingredients. Their dedication to mastering culinary techniques amidst challenging circumstances is truly commendable. The photograph also highlights the unusual nature of wartime occupations as well as the impact of odors that permeated every aspect of life during this period. The smelly environment did not deter these brave individuals from pursuing employment opportunities and contributing to society's needs. As we reflect upon this snapshot from history, let us remember and honor those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to sustain their communities during times of adversity. These resilient women exemplify strength, perseverance, and unity – qualities that continue to inspire generations today.
