EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of women's invaluable contributions to the British war effort during World War One, as showcased in the Our Day pageant held in Wolverhampton in 1918. The image features a Sunbeam Motor Car Company lorry, generously donated for the event, adorned with decorations and the inspiring message, "Women's War Work Gives Britain Wings." The photograph offers a glimpse into the women's aircraft departments that emerged during the war, where they played crucial roles in manufacturing and assembling vital components for the production of aircraft. These women worked tirelessly to support the war effort, often in challenging conditions, and their dedication proved instrumental in maintaining the momentum of the British aviation industry. The Sunbeam Motor Car Company lorry, with its distinctive logo and the Women's War Work emblem, serves as a symbol of unity and collaboration between industries and the community in supporting the war effort. The pageant itself was an opportunity for the people of Wolverhampton to celebrate the achievements of the women's war work and to express their appreciation for their unwavering commitment. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the essential role women played in the war effort during World War One, and their significant impact on the aviation industry. Their dedication and hard work helped ensure Britain's continued presence in the skies and contributed to the eventual Allied victory.
