Now the Day is Over: A Moment of Respite for Women of the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) during the Twilight of World War I This evocative illustration captures a poignant moment in the history of the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) during the twilight of World War I. The image, titled "Eight Months with the WRAF: Now the Day is Over," depicts a group of women in military uniforms, gathered around a wood-burning stove in a rustic hut, waiting for their transport home at the end of a long day. The women, with weary expressions and bundled up against the chill, seem to be sharing stories and laughter as they warm themselves by the fire. The Women's Royal Air Force was formed in March 1918, during the final months of the First World War, to release men from non-combatant roles and support the war effort. Over 25,000 women served in the WRAF, performing a variety of roles including cooks, clerks, drivers, mechanics, and radio operators. Their contributions were essential to the success of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force. This illustration, dated between 1919 and 1920, offers a glimpse into the daily life of these intrepid women, who worked tirelessly to support the war effort. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience of the women who served in the WRAF during World War I, and the important role they played in shaping the history of the Royal Air Force.
