EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, the Lord Roberts Memorial Workshops emerged as a beacon of hope and support for the brave men who had sacrificed their ability to work due to permanent disabilities incurred during their active military service. This illustrated advertisement, published in a colour magazine volume of January 1917, invites the public to lend a helping hand to these gallant heroes. The Lord Roberts Memorial Workshops, an establishment of great merit, was dedicated to finding employment opportunities for these disabled soldiers. The advertisement showcases the various trades and industries that the workshops catered to, including metalworking, woodworking, and leatherwork. Each image in the advertisement depicts a man, proudly engaged in his craft, demonstrating the dignity and purpose that such work bestowed upon them. The caption beneath the image reads, "Lord Roberts Memorial Workshops: An Establishment for the Employment of Disabled Soldiers," followed by a heartfelt appeal, "Give a Little, and Help Those Who Gave So Much for You." The advertisement serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers and the importance of coming together as a community to support them in their time of need. The Lord Roberts Memorial Workshops were a testament to the spirit of compassion and solidarity that defined the era, and this advertisement stands as a powerful symbol of the enduring gratitude and respect held for the men and women who served their country during the Great War.
