Attention Inspect Inspecting Parade Parades Stand Teck Visiting
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment during the First World War, as King George V and Queen Mary of Teck inspect a group of determined women from the Women's Land Army. Taken in the late 1910s, the image shows the King and Queen standing at the head of a long line of women, all dressed in their uniforms and wearing protective goggles, as they stand at attention. The Women's Land Army was formed in 1917 to help support the war effort by working on farms and in the countryside, allowing men to serve in the military. With the absence of many men due to the war, the women played a vital role in maintaining food production and keeping the country fed. The royal visit was a morale-boosting gesture, demonstrating the appreciation and recognition of the important work these women were doing. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and contributions made by women during the First World War, and the vital role they played in shaping the course of history.
