The 'Few' Supported by the 'Many'

During the Battle of Britain, the 'Few', were supported by the 'Many' in a variety of important roles, such as these three WAAF teleprinter operators, who stayed at their posts and continued to work the lines during the heavy Luftwaffe attacks on Biggin Hill, 1 September 1940.

Pictured (left to right) are: Sergeant Joan E Mortimer; Flight Officer Elspeth C Henderson; and Sergeant Helen E Turner, standing outside damaged buildings at Biggin Hill, Kent. They were awarded the Military Medal for gallantry.
