EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the Second World War. In December 1940, at the height of the conflict, a group of courageous women from the Women Royal Navy Service (WRNS) can be seen training at the rifle range. These brave Wrens are fully immersed in shooting practice, demonstrating their dedication and determination to contribute to the war effort. The image showcases not only their commitment but also their skill as they take aim with precision and focus. As members of the WRNS, these women played an essential role on the home front, supporting military operations by taking on various responsibilities traditionally held by men. In this photograph, we witness firsthand how these remarkable women defied societal norms and stepped up to serve their country during a time of great turmoil. Their presence at the rifle range highlights their willingness to learn new skills and adapt to wartime conditions. As we reflect upon this image today, it serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience displayed by women during times of conflict. It is through such historical photographs that we gain insight into untold stories and honor those who made invaluable contributions behind-the-scenes.
