EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Truro, Cornwall on July 12th, 1918. The image captures a powerful moment as a member of the Women's Land Army stands confidently before a crowd, delivering an impassioned speech that undoubtedly resonated with all who were present. Her determined expression reflects the strength and resilience of women during World War I. Seated to her right is another remarkable woman adorned in a Women's Army Corps uniform, proudly displaying her hat badge. Together, these two individuals symbolize the unity and collaboration between different branches of service during this tumultuous period in history. The backdrop behind them reveals N. Gill & Son drapers shop, adding an authentic touch to the scene and providing insight into daily life at that time. The photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captured this historic moment for posterity. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum serves as a poignant reminder of the significant contributions made by women during World War I. It encapsulates their determination to break societal norms and take on roles traditionally reserved for men.
