EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, a group of intrepid women in Devon, England, defied societal norms and traditional gender roles by embracing the challenge of forestry work. Known as Lumber Jills and Land Girls, these brave women donned practical uniforms consisting of breeches, leggings, and sturdy hobnailed boots to join the war effort. The year was 1914-1918, and the demand for timber to fuel the war machine was insatiable. With men away at the front lines, the women of Devon stepped up to the plate, clearing trees, felling timber, and performing various forestry tasks. Their uniforms, a stark contrast to the feminine dresses and corsets of the time, allowed them the freedom and flexibility to work effectively in the rugged terrain. In this evocative photograph from The John Barrett Collection, a group of Lumber Jills take a well-deserved break amongst the trees they have labored to clear. Their faces reflect the physicality of their work, the determination etched into their features, and the camaraderie that comes from shared experience. The trees, standing tall and proud in the background, serve as a reminder of the women's accomplishments and the vital role they played in the war effort. The Lumber Jills and Land Girls of Devon embodied the spirit of resilience and adaptability that defined the First World War era. Their story is a testament to the power of determination, unity, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity.
