EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Green, Truro, Cornwall. 1914-1918" we are transported back to the tumultuous years of the First World War. The image captures a poignant moment where civilians find solace amidst the chaos, flanked by army officers on The Green in Truro, Cornwall. As our gaze falls upon this historical snapshot frozen in time by photographer Arthur William Jordan, we witness a powerful juxtaposition between civilian life and military presence during one of humanity's darkest periods. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, communities strive to maintain their sense of normalcy and unity. The composition reveals an array of emotions etched onto the faces present: determination, resilience, and perhaps even fear. Each individual plays their part in this intricate tapestry woven with threads of sacrifice and hope for a better future. This photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum transports us beyond mere words or statistics; it allows us to connect intimately with those who lived through such turbulent times. It is a testament to the strength and spirit that prevailed amidst adversity. Let us cherish these visual relics from history as they serve as reminders not only of our shared past but also as lessons for generations yet to come. May we never forget the sacrifices made during World War One - known as the Great War - and may we always strive for peace in our world today.
