EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to the early days of autumn in 1915. The scene captures a momentous occasion - Russian Flag Day - on Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall. Two elegant ladies stand at the top of the street near Barrack Lane turning, their eyes filled with determination as they collect donations for this noble cause. Amidst them stands a man atop his motorbike, perhaps offering support or simply observing the bustling activity around him. His presence adds an air of modernity to this historic snapshot. The women's hats and attire reflect the fashion trends of that era while their collecting tins symbolize their dedication towards raising funds for a war-torn nation far away. A vibrant Russian flag flutters proudly above them against a backdrop of charming buildings and walls that have witnessed countless stories unfold over time. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully freezes this moment in history, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era where communities rallied together during times of global conflict. This poignant image serves as a reminder not only of our shared humanity but also highlights the resilience and compassion displayed by ordinary individuals during extraordinary times. This print is an invaluable piece from Cornish history, preserving memories from World War I and honoring those who selflessly contributed to causes beyond their own shores.
