EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from around 1917, we are transported back in time to Truro, Cornwall during the First World War. The image showcases an unknown member of the Women's Land Army, a group of courageous women who stepped up to fill vital roles on farms and in agriculture while men were away at war. Dressed in traditional Cornish attire, our subject stands proudly by a rustic wooden door adorned with intricate carvings. Her apron is neatly tied around her waist, symbolizing her hard work and dedication to feeding the nation during these challenging times. Despite the hardships she undoubtedly faced, her warm smile radiates resilience and determination. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan, this snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in history but also pays homage to countless unsung heroes who played pivotal roles during wartime. Their contributions often went unnoticed or unacknowledged for many years. This remarkable print serves as a poignant reminder of the strength and spirit exhibited by women like her throughout history. It invites us to reflect upon their sacrifices and unwavering commitment towards supporting their communities during times of adversity. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this powerful image allows us to connect with our past and honor those whose efforts have shaped our present-day society.
