EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heat of the First World War, women proved their mettle in unexpected ways, breaking gender norms and contributing significantly to the war effort. Among these unsung heroes were the Female Red Cross Ambulance Drivers, who served tirelessly to transport wounded soldiers from the battlefields to hospitals. This photograph, dated 1918, depicts a line of these brave women standing proudly in front of their vehicles. Their uniforms, a very neat dark blue, exude a sense of discipline and professionalism. Queen Mary, the wife of King George V, took a keen interest in the role of women during the war. She believed that their involvement was essential to the success of the war effort and advocated for more opportunities for women in various fields. Although she is not present in this image, her influence is felt in the dedication and determination of these women. Their vehicles, adorned with the Red Cross emblem, are a testament to their commitment to saving lives. And what could be a more fitting mascot for these courageous women than a Great Dane, a symbol of strength and loyalty? The presence of the dog adds a touch of warmth and humanity to this powerful image, reminding us of the compassion and resilience that defined the spirit of the First World War.
