EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of women diligently engaged in needlework at Claridges Hotel in London during the early days of the First World War. Dating back to August 1914, these women were not employed in the hotel's commercial operations but had gathered together to contribute to the war effort. Their focus was on creating woollen shirts, which were destined for Lord Tredegar's yacht. At the time, the yacht was being used as a relief ship to support hospital ships along the French and Belgian coasts. The civilian response to the war was immense, with many individuals looking for ways to help from the home front. This poignant scene illustrates the spirit of community and determination that characterized the early stages of the Great War. The women's faces show a range of emotions – some focused intently on their work, while others share a moment of levity or camaraderie. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the role that ordinary people played in the war effort and the resilience that sustained them during this tumultuous period in history.
