EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Middlesex branch of the Women's Royal Voluntary Service (WRVS) during World War II. The image, taken in 1940, shows a group of dedicated women dressed in their distinctive blue uniforms, adorned with red crosses, gathered around a festively decorated table. The leader of the branch, Mrs Sydney Jewell, is seen in the front row, second from the right, with a proud and determined expression. The WRVS was an essential organization during the war, providing vital support to the military and civilians alike. The women of the Middlesex branch were no exception, working tirelessly to provide comfort, care, and practical assistance to those in need. Despite the challenges and hardships of wartime, these women found time to celebrate the Christmas season. The table in the photograph is laden with paper garlands, festive decorations, and a tree adorned with tinsel and baubles. The women's faces reflect the joy and camaraderie of the occasion, a testament to their resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The Women's Royal Voluntary Service played a crucial role in the war effort, and the Middlesex branch was no exception. Their selfless dedication and commitment to serving their community is a reminder of the sacrifices and contributions made by ordinary people during this pivotal period in history.
