EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Eight Months with the WRAF: Lunch Time," offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) during the aftermath of the First World War. The image, dated between 1919 and 1920, depicts a group of women in their distinctive WRAF uniforms, taking a break during their lunch hour in a cozy hut. The women are shown seated at long tables, engaged in lively conversation, as they enjoy their midday meal. Some women are pouring tea from steaming teapots into cups, while others are busy eating hearty sandwiches and other dishes. The overall atmosphere is one of camaraderie and relaxation, a welcome respite from the rigors of military life. The WRAF was established in March 1918, and its members played a crucial role in supporting the war effort by performing various non-combat roles in the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force. By the end of the war, over 13,000 women had served in the WRAF. This illustration provides a poignant reminder of the important contributions made by these brave women during a pivotal moment in history. The WRAF uniforms, consisting of practical overalls and caps, are on full display in this illustration. The women's faces are expressive and full of character, adding to the authenticity and charm of the image. This illustration is a must-have for anyone interested in military history, women's history, or the social history of the early 20th century.
