EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1940s during a time of war and conflict. The image captures an important event where the Lady Mayoress of Cardiff, Mrs. C. H. McCale, is seen opening an exhibition organized by James Howell & Co. Ltd in connection with the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WaF) recruiting campaign. The composition showcases a distinguished group of individuals standing side by side. From left to right, we see the Deputy Lady Mayoress, Mrs. W. J. Banbury; Mr. T. Francis Howell; Squadron-Leader Graham Wilson; Air Commandant K. J. Trefusis Forbes C. B. E. , who serves as the Director of the W. A. A. F. ; Wing Officer E. F Dacre; and Squadron Officer Hackforth. This powerful snapshot not only highlights their presence but also symbolizes unity and determination amidst challenging times for our nation during World War II (WWII). It serves as a reminder of women's significant contributions to the Royal Air Force (RAF), particularly through recruitment campaigns like this one. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, it evokes feelings of admiration for these courageous men and women who dedicated themselves to serving their country during wartime. Their commitment resonates even today as a testament to bravery and resilience in times of adversity.
