EDITORS COMMENTS
World War Two - Second World War - Girls of the Callay Sawmills, determined and resilient, continue their vital contribution to the war effort as they inspect another load of pit props. In this print captured on 20th March 1943, we witness a small group of young women from the Timber Corps working tirelessly in the sawmill. Led by Miss Beatrice Forbes-Watson, an inspiring figure in her role as supervisor, these courageous ladies demonstrate their unwavering commitment to supporting the war through timber production. The image showcases their expertise and dedication as they meticulously check each pit prop before it is transported for use. The backdrop reveals a bustling scene within the sawmill – logs stacked high and trolleys ready to transport precious resources along railway tracks. These brave women navigate their way through this male-dominated industry with grace and determination, proving that gender is no barrier when it comes to serving one's country during times of crisis. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the extraordinary contributions made by countless unsung heroes during World War Two. Their efforts behind-the-scenes were instrumental in sustaining industries crucial for victory. As we reflect upon this moment frozen in time, let us honor these remarkable individuals who played an integral part in shaping history.
