EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) during the aftermath of the First World War. Dated between 1919 and 1920, the image showcases a group of women in uniform, taking a much-deserved break in their Rest Room. The room is filled with a delightful atmosphere, as two women dance playfully in the center, their laughter echoing through the space. Another WRAF member sits at the piano, her fingers gracefully gliding across the keys, adding to the lively ambiance. The Women's Royal Air Force was established in March 1918, providing essential support services to the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force. With the war's end, these women were given the opportunity to unwind and enjoy some leisure time. In this illustration, we see them engaging in various activities, such as dancing, playing the piano, reading, and relaxing. These moments of respite were crucial for the women, allowing them to recharge and maintain their morale. The Women's Royal Air Force played a significant role in the history of the First World War, with over 75,000 women serving in various capacities. Their contributions were diverse, ranging from clerical work and cooks to drivers and mechanics. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of their dedication and the important role they played during the war and in the post-war period.
