EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Hilda Crew, a trailblazer in the midst of chaos. This print captures the indomitable spirit of Mrs Hilda Crew, hailed as Monmouthshire's first female bus-driver during the tumultuous years of World War II. In April 1942, amidst the backdrop of conflict and uncertainty, Mrs Crew fearlessly took on this unconventional role, breaking barriers and shattering stereotypes. Transporting passengers through Pontllanfraith's streets with determination etched on her face, she embodied resilience and strength during a time when women were stepping up to fill vital roles on the home front. As war raged across Europe, Mrs Crew stood tall behind the wheel of her bus - an emblematic symbol of empowerment for women everywhere. This poignant image from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to the forties; a decade marked by sacrifice and unity. It serves as a reminder that even in times of turmoil, ordinary individuals like Mrs Hilda Crew played extraordinary parts in shaping history. Let us not forget these unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep society moving forward. Their contributions paved the way for future generations and continue to inspire us today. This photograph is a testament to their unwavering dedication and serves as an enduring tribute to all those who served on both fronts – at home and abroad.
