EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dedicated members of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) at the newly established "Woolwich Arsenal" in England during World War Two. The ATS, consisting mainly of women, played a crucial role on the home front by supporting military operations. In this particular image taken on November 2nd, 1942, we see an ATS member diligently at work collecting spider webs for use in telescopic sights. This seemingly unconventional task highlights the resourcefulness and adaptability of these remarkable women who were willing to go above and beyond their assigned duties to contribute to the war effort. The new Woolwich Arsenal served as an Ordnance depot strategically located in northern England. It became a hub for ammunition production and storage during this tumultuous period. The photograph provides a glimpse into the daily lives of these brave individuals who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure that soldiers had access to essential equipment needed for combat. With its vintage aesthetic and historical significance, this print transports us back to the forties when conflict was rampant but resilience prevailed. It serves as a poignant reminder of the immense contributions made by both men and women during World War Two while shedding light on lesser-known aspects of wartime efforts. Authenticity emanates from every detail captured within this picture - from uniforms adorned with ATS insignia to determined expressions etched onto faces hardened by war. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us honor those who selflessly served their country amidst one
