EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and adaptability of women during World War I as they took on roles traditionally held by men at the Army Remount Depot in 1916. In this image, two young women are seen working diligently in the stables, mucking out the horse stalls. With the soldiers away at the front lines, the hunting fields were left vacant, and women from all walks of life stepped up to fill the void. They worked tirelessly to ensure the horses were well-cared for, contributing significantly to the war effort. The Army Remount Depot played a crucial role in the war, providing the British Army with over 300,000 horses during the conflict. The women's work was essential, and their contributions were invaluable, paving the way for women's increased participation in the workforce and society at large. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of women during the First World War.
