EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Lewis, we are transported back to the heart of World War Two. It showcases the unwavering strength and determination of women workers at HM Dockyards in Devonport, Plymouth during October 1945. The image depicts a group of resilient women utilizing a drilling machine to meticulously drill holes in ships' steel plates. The photograph serves as a powerful testament to the crucial role played by women on the home front during wartime. As men were called away to fight on distant battlefields, these remarkable individuals stepped up and filled vital positions within industries such as shipbuilding. Their tireless efforts ensured that production continued unabated, supporting the war effort and keeping our nation's defenses strong. The sight of these dedicated women surrounded by machinery symbolizes their integral contribution towards maintaining Britain's naval power amidst turbulent times. Their skilled labor not only exemplifies their commitment but also challenges traditional gender roles prevalent during that era. Lewis has expertly captured an important moment in history through this poignant snapshot. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is a reminder of the immense sacrifices made by countless individuals who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to secure victory for our nation during World War Two.
