EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Sheffield Libraries' archives transports us back to a crucial moment in history - the Second World War. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, we are presented with an inspiring image that showcases the unwavering determination of women who stepped up to fill vital roles traditionally held by men. In this snapshot, taken at Darnall Goods Depot in Sheffield, Yorkshire, a group of remarkable women proudly pose for the camera. Their faces reflect both resolve and camaraderie as they don their work attire adorned with badges bearing the iconic initials 'LNER, ' symbolizing their affiliation with London & North Eastern Railway. These unsung heroines played an indispensable role in supporting Britain's war effort on the home front. From loading munitions onto trains bound for battlefields to maintaining essential supply lines under relentless pressure, these dedicated workers proved that gender was no barrier when it came to serving one's country. Annie Colley stands out among her peers; her name forever etched into history as a testament to female empowerment during wartime. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of countless other courageous women whose contributions often went unrecognized but were nonetheless instrumental in securing victory against tyranny. As we gaze upon this evocative image captured over seven decades ago, let us pay tribute not only to these extraordinary individuals but also to
