EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the 1940s amidst the chaos of World War Two. The image showcases Mrs Picton, a remarkable woman who served as both a science mistress at Surbiton High School and a Warden during Invasion Exercises in Kingston, London. Dressed in her Civil Defence uniform, Mrs Picton exudes strength and determination as she stands tall against the backdrop of war-torn London. Her VSC (Voluntary Service Certificate) and ARCS (Associate of the Royal College of Science) credentials proudly displayed on her lapel reflect her expertise in science education. As an integral part of the home front effort, Mrs Picton played a crucial role in training civilians for defense against potential enemy invasions. Her dedication to preparing others for such daunting scenarios is evident through her poised demeanor. The date etched beneath the photo - October 25th, 1942 - serves as a reminder that even during one of history's darkest periods, individuals like Mrs Picton were committed to safeguarding their communities. This powerful snapshot captures not only an inspiring figure but also represents countless unsung heroes who selflessly contributed to their country's defense during World War Two. It serves as a testament to resilience and unity amidst adversity while honoring those who dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to protecting their fellow citizens from harm's way.
