EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of women working diligently as carpenters in a factory near Reading, England during May 1918. The women, dressed in protective clothing and wearing hats to keep sawdust out of their hair, are deeply concentrated on their tasks as they construct ammunition boxes and wooden storage cases. Each woman holds a variety of tools, including drills, planes, and hammers, which they use to shape and assemble the wooden crates. In the background, large numbers of completed boxes are stacked high, ready to be transported to the front lines. The reverse of the photograph's card bears the date and location of the image, providing a historical context for this remarkable scene. The factory where this photograph was taken is believed to have been Samuel Elliott & Sons, a prominent joinery firm in Caversham. During World War I, women played a vital role in the war effort by taking on jobs traditionally held by men who were away fighting. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the important work these women did in the manufacturing sector, contributing to the war effort in a significant way. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the women who stepped up to support their country during a time of crisis.
