EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and community during the First World War, as members of the Women's Institute (WI) busily engage in making jam and wicker baskets in a kitchen setting, date back to 1915. The young women, dressed in old yet neatly pressed aprons, focus intently on their tasks, their faces reflecting a sense of great skill and effort. The jam pots on the stove are filled with bubbling fruit, while the wicker baskets, neatly stacked in the background, await the finishing touches. The Women's Institute, an organisation that began in England in 1897, played a vital role during the war years. With men away at the front, the WI stepped up to help with the war effort in numerous ways, including food production and fundraising. Making jam was an important way to preserve fruit and ensure a steady supply of sustenance for the troops and the local community. Wickerwork, too, was a useful skill, as the lightweight and durable baskets were ideal for transporting goods. The scene in this photograph exudes a sense of happiness and camaraderie, as the women work together to make a difference in their community during a time of great upheaval. The image is a poignant reminder of the resourcefulness and resilience of women during the First World War, and the important role that organisations like the Women's Institute played in supporting the war effort.
