Forces Services 13 Women's Voluntary Service - Women at War WWII

This evocative vintage photograph captures the Women's Voluntary Service (WVS) in action during World War II — the remarkable women who prided themselves on doing “whatever was needed,” including providing vital support, tea, and refreshments to victims of the Blitz and those sheltering in London’s Underground stations.

As author Kathryn J. Atwood wrote in Women Heroes of World War II:

“…most of these women — the famous and the obscure — had one thing in common: they did not think of themselves as heroes. They followed their consciences, saw something that needed to be done, and they did it. And all of them helped win a war, even though many of them paid the ultimate price for their contribution.”
