In October 1942, these courageous ladies could be seen racing through the picturesque county of Warwickshire on their trusty steeds. Their mission? To deliver urgent messages from the W. V. S. headquarters in Kennilworth, Warwicks. , ensuring swift communication amidst chaos. These determined women were not only breaking gender stereotypes but also defying societal norms by venturing into what was traditionally considered male-dominated territory.
