EDITORS COMMENTS
Peace Day Celebrations: A Triumphant Scene of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps in London (19th July 1919) The jubilant scene captured in this photograph marks the historic Peace Day Celebrations held in London on the 19th of July 1919. Amidst the joyous atmosphere, members of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) proudly marched in formation, their faces reflecting a sense of accomplishment and relief. The WAAC, also known as Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps, was established during World War I as a substitute for soldiers fighting at the front. These brave women played a crucial role in supporting the war effort, filling various roles from clerical work to driving ambulances, and even serving as cooks and nurses. As the war came to an end, the nation celebrated the victory with grand processions and parades. The WAAC members, wearing their distinctive uniforms, were a significant presence in these celebrations, symbolizing the vital contribution of women to the war effort. The photograph captures the essence of this momentous occasion, with the women standing tall and proud, their uniforms adorned with badges and insignia, and their expressions filled with a sense of achievement and pride. The scene is a testament to the resilience, courage, and determination of the women who served in the WAAC during World War I. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the Peace Day Celebrations, an event that marked the end of a long and arduous war and the beginning of a new era for women in the British Empire.
