‘Put that light out!’
The Searchlight Girls of WW2
A talk by Dr Imogen Corrigan
One of the best-kept secrets of British military history is that of the all-female 93rd (Searchlight) Regiment Royal Artillery.
Working around the clock, and overcoming local opposition, they operated in small groups across the country, helping to keep the population safe from attack by enemy aircraft. They had other important functions, one of which was to help bring home battered aeroplanes with wounded men on board.
Their story is unsung but extremely moving.
