Anti Strike Demo
Representatives of regional groups from the Womens Guild of Empire marching along the Embankment, London to demonstrate against the imminent general strike in the UK, 17th April 1926.

The march will continue to the Royal Albert hall, where a mass meeting will be addressed by the guilds co-founder, British suffragette, Flora Drummond.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Anti Strike Demo of 17th April 1926 in London. Representatives from regional groups of the Women's Guild of Empire can be seen marching along the Embankment, united against the imminent general strike that threatened to disrupt the United Kingdom. The Women's Guild of Empire, a right-wing organization vehemently opposed to communism, took a firm stand against this labor action. The demonstrators proudly carry banners with powerful messages such as "The Strike Is A Two-Edged Sword" and "Lancashires Clemmin (starving) For Peace" reflecting their concerns about the consequences of industrial unrest on both sides. Their march is not just an act of resistance but also a display of unity and support for their cause. As they make their way towards the Royal Albert Hall, where a mass meeting awaits them, these brave women find inspiration in Flora Drummond, co-founder of the British suffragette movement and one of the guild's leaders. Her presence symbolizes strength and determination as she prepares to address her fellow activists. This portrait-format photograph by Central Press offers us a glimpse into an uncomfortable time filled with political tension and societal divisions. It serves as a poignant reminder that even during times of crisis, ordinary people can come together to voice their concerns and fight for what they believe is right.
