Close up of the 'Women of World War II' Memorial in Whitehall, London. "The memorial, which commemorates the contribution made to the war effort by seven million women, between 1939 and 1945, stands in Whitehall, about a hundred yards from the cenotaph. The memorial was unveiled by Her Majesty The Queen, on the 9th July in 2005. The memorial was financed by public donation and the Heritage Lottery Fund, and was the culmination of a campaign led by Major David Robertson. Further support for the project, from many , was fostered by the efforts of Baroness Betty Boothroyd, the former speaker of the House Of Commons. The 22ft-high bronze sculpture depicts the uniforms and working clothes worn by women during the war. " (Source: )
