EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of the first British service women in war-torn Berlin. Section Officer P. Hack from Palmers Green, London and Section Officer H. Hampson from Paignton, Devon proudly stand alongside a Red Army girl from the Soviet army at Brandenburger Tor on Unter den Linden. Taken in July 1945, this image symbolizes unity and collaboration between nations as they worked together to rebuild after years of devastating conflict. These brave women were part of RAF Transport Command's Number 10 taking post at Gatow airfield, marking their historic entry into Berlin. In an era dominated by male soldiers and troops, these trailblazing women broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of female military personnel. Their presence not only challenged gender norms but also showcased their dedication to serving their country during times of immense struggle. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded that war does not discriminate; it affects all who endure its hardships. The juxtaposition between British servicewomen and a Russian soldier highlights international cooperation amidst chaos. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history - one that should be cherished and remembered for generations to come.
