Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, the relentless march of conflict demanded unwavering dedication and resilience from the women who answered the call to the front lines. In this evocative photograph from 1918, we catch a glimpse into Harrods' commitment to supporting the war effort through the provision of practical and durable outfits for women engaged in outdoor war work. The image showcases an array of Dri-Garb outfits, each meticulously crafted from fine khaki twill, a material renowned for its toughness and weatherproof properties. These outfits were designed to withstand the rigors of the battlefield, ensuring the women who wore them remained protected and focused on their essential tasks. The Dri-Garb outfits, with their practical design and timeless appeal, were the epitome of functionality and style. The khaki twill fabric, in its rugged durability, embodied the spirit of the women who donned them, their determination to contribute to the war effort in any way they could. As the war raged on, Harrods continued to play a vital role in the home front, providing the women who worked tirelessly to support the troops with the necessary tools and resources to face the challenges of their roles. This photograph stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the women who answered the call, their unwavering dedication, and the essential role Harrods played in equipping them for the task at hand. The year was 1918, and the world was forever changed. The image of these women, clad in their Dri-Garb outfits, stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War and the resilience that carried us through its darkest days.
