EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Metropolitan Police's Mounted Branch in London during the 1980s. The image features two dedicated officers, a man and a woman, riding their horses through a bustling London street. Both officers are dressed in their full uniforms, including protective helmets that were introduced to the force in 1984. The woman's presence is a testament to the progress made towards gender equality in the police force, as women were only appointed to the Mounted Branch in 1970. The officers' uniforms are adorned with checked jackets, white shirts, and ties for the men, and checked cravats for the woman. Their duty belts hold various tools and equipment necessary for their work. The man wears a traditional helmet with a wire visor, while the woman's helmet is more modern and streamlined. The horses, strong and proud, mirror the confidence and determination of their riders. The background of the photograph shows the unique character of London's architecture, with buildings lining the street and a fence adding a sense of security and order. The image serves as a reminder of the important role that police officers, both male and female, play in maintaining law and order in our communities. This photograph is a significant piece of history, showcasing the evolution of the police force and the progress towards gender equality in the workplace.
