EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as a group of English women soldiers engage in training exercises near the French city of Rouen in 1917. The image offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the women who served in the military during this period, often referred to as "War Workers" or "Tommies in Skirts." The women in the photograph are seen in a pastoral setting, with the rolling hills of northern France providing a picturesque backdrop. They are dressed in their military uniforms, complete with helmets and rifles, and are intently focused on their drills. The serene landscape, however, is a stark contrast to the harsh realities of war that these women would have faced. The British Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) was established in December 1914, and by the end of the war, over 70,000 women had served in various roles, including drivers, cooks, clerks, and nurses. The WAAC provided essential support to the military effort, freeing up men for combat duties. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the significant contributions made by women during the First World War. It also underscores the idea that war is not just about men in uniform, but also about the countless individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the smooth running of military operations. The women in this photograph are a testament to the resilience, courage, and determination of those who answered the call to duty during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty.
