EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print from 1951, we see three remarkable young women of the Newcastle branch of the Women's Royal Army Corps - Private Hilda Barnard, aged 19, Lance Corporal H Maull, aged 21, and Lance Corporal Mary Jones, also aged 21. Dressed proudly in their military uniforms, they embarked on a unique visit to the Chronicle offices at Kemsley House. Eager to witness the intricacies behind newspaper production during that era, these spirited ladies were particularly fascinated by the art of creating half-tone photographs. With eyes wide open and curiosity brimming within them, they observed with awe as skilled technicians demonstrated the meticulous process involved in bringing images to life on paper. This photograph encapsulates not only their youthful enthusiasm but also symbolizes an important moment for women breaking barriers within traditionally male-dominated fields. These courageous individuals fearlessly embraced opportunities offered by organizations like the Women's Royal Army Corps. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it serves as a reminder of how far society has progressed since then. It is a tribute to those who paved the way for future generations while simultaneously highlighting our collective responsibility to continue fostering inclusivity and gender equality. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints and brought back into focus today by NCJ-Kemsley's dedication to preserving historical moments through photography; this image stands as a testament to resilience and determination against all odds.
