Training the Fearless - Members of the WRAC Master Guard Dog Handling at Royal Army Veterinary Corps Headquarters
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from September 1962, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in British military history. The image captures an intense training session at the Royal Army Veterinary Corps Headquarters in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. Here, members of the Women's Royal Army Corps (WRAC) are being expertly instructed on handling guard dogs. The scene unfolds with Corporal David Gentle RAWC playing the role of a handbag snatcher while Private Jacky Black WRAC stands ready with her loyal companion, Army dog Blanco. As tensions rise, Blanco springs into action, retrieving the bag with precision and determination. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both the dangerous nature of conflict and the unwavering dedication exhibited by these brave soldiers. The expressions on their faces reveal a mixture of dejection and furtiveness as they navigate through this rigorous exercise. The year is 1962; it is a time when women were gradually breaking barriers within traditionally male-dominated fields such as defense. This photograph serves as a testament to their resilience and commitment to serving their country. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured by an unknown photographer, we cannot help but admire these soldier-servants who fearlessly embraced challenges head-on. Their uniformed presence against the backdrop of Melton Mowbray evokes deep respect for those who have dedicated themselves to
