EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph captured by Bernard Alfieri, we are transported back to the summer of 1939 in England. The image showcases a small group of women, newly recruited into the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service (W. A. T. S. ), diligently cleaning their campsite at Cowshot Manor Camp Brookwood in Surrey. With brooms in hand and smiles on their faces, these young women embody camaraderie and determination as they prepare for an impending inspection by esteemed figures such as Sir Malcolm Fraser and Lord Ashcombe. Their enthusiasm is palpable, reflecting their commitment to serving their country during a time of war. The photo exudes a sense of unity among these brave recruits who have come together from different walks of life to contribute to the home front effort during World War II. Despite the challenges that lie ahead, they radiate happiness and friendship amidst the uncertainty that looms over Europe. Tents dotting the landscape serve as a reminder of their temporary homes while training for service. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents countless untold stories of resilience and sacrifice exhibited by women throughout history. Bernard Alfieri's skillful composition transports us back to this pivotal era when ordinary individuals stepped up to become extraordinary heroes on the front lines – even if those lines were drawn within
