Keep the Home Fires Burning, WW1
Scenes showing women carrying on and fulfilling mens roles during the First World War while husbands, fathers, brothers and sons serve in the trenches. In this case, perhaps displaying the bias of the Illustrated Sporting & Dramatic News in which this illustration was published, the lady in question gardens, farms, exercises horses, goes hunting, feeds his game birds and looks after a convalscent charger. The title alludes to the popular, patriotic WW1 song written by Ivor Novello and Lena Ford. Date: 1916

Keep the Home Fires Burning: Women's Unwavering Resilience During the First World War This evocative image, published in the Illustrated Sporting & Dramatic News in 1916, portrays the indomitable spirit of British women during the First World War. As husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons answered the call to the trenches, women were left to carry on and fulfill the roles once held by men. In this scene, a determined lady dons a hunting jacket and hat as she expertly rides a horse through a verdant English countryside. Her focus is unwavering as she checks her gun, a testament to her newfound skills and the necessity of self-sufficiency. The landscape around her is dotted with women tending to gardens, farming, and caring for game birds. In the background, a convalescent charger, a horse recovering from injury, is attended to by a woman in a nurse's uniform. The title of this image, "Keep the Home Fires Burning," alludes to the popular, patriotic World War I song written by Ivor Novello and Lena Ford. The lyrics of the song, urging women to keep the home fires burning while men were away at war, resonated deeply with the British public and served as a symbol of hope and resilience. This powerful image, with its poignant title, highlights the remarkable strength and adaptability of women during a time of great upheaval and change. It serves as a reminder of the vital role they played in keeping the home front running, ensuring the continuity of daily life, and providing support for the war effort in their own unique ways.
