EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to the year 1917, amidst the chaos of World War I. The image showcases the humble sleeping quarters provided for the courageous members of the First World War Women's Land Army at Tregavethan Farm in Truro, Cornwall. The dormitory exudes a sense of camaraderie and resilience as rows of neatly made beds line up against each other. These beds served as sanctuaries for these Cornish girls who had bravely stepped into traditionally male-dominated roles on farms during wartime. Despite their challenging duties, they found solace and rest within these walls. Above a simple wash-stand hangs an assortment of rules and a time-table, serving as constant reminders of discipline and order in their lives. These women were not just farmhands; they were warriors fighting on home soil to ensure food security for their nation. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan, this snapshot captures both the physicality and spirit that defined these remarkable women. Their determination is palpable even in stillness—symbols of strength amidst adversity. As we reflect upon this poignant moment frozen in time, let us remember those who defied societal norms to contribute selflessly towards victory during one of history's darkest periods. May their legacy inspire generations to come with its unwavering courage and unyielding dedication to service.
