EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the historic moment when the first party of Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) attached to the 21st Army Group arrived in Normandy, Northern France. It was a significant event following the successful Allied landings on the beaches on June 6th. The image captures a group of twenty-four brave women arriving by landing craft at one of the iconic Normandy beaches. Among them is Private Marjorie Johnstone from Ruislip, whose disembarkation ticket is being examined by Major W. N. Tyndale. The major has been tirelessly working on these very shores since the early days of the landings. These courageous women have been assigned crucial duties as clerks on this beachhead, supporting and facilitating operations during this critical phase of World War II. Their presence symbolizes not only their dedication and commitment but also highlights how women played an integral role in various aspects of wartime efforts. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Operation Overlord and the Allied invasion of France known as D-Day. It immortalizes a pivotal moment in history when soldiers and officers worked hand-in-hand with remarkable women like those depicted here, shaping our world today through their unwavering bravery and resilience.
