EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo captures a significant moment in history during the 1930s. In the midst of uncertainty and preparation for potential gas attacks, two brave women named Mrs Topham and Mrs Boggett are seen delivering gas masks to families in Sidcup, Kent. The image showcases their dedication to ensuring the safety of their community amidst the looming threat. In this particular scene, they are shown handing over a gas mask to Mrs Williams, who stands at the center with gratitude on her face. The photograph beautifully portrays the unity and support among neighbors during these challenging times. The image is a powerful reminder of how people came together to protect themselves and their loved ones during an era marked by tension between wars. It symbolizes resilience, strength, and compassion as ordinary citizens took it upon themselves to safeguard their homes against potential harm. Photographed by John Topham, this monochrome print encapsulates not only historical significance but also serves as a testament to human spirit in times of adversity. As we look back on this snapshot from our past, let us remember those who selflessly worked towards creating safer communities for future generations.
