EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1915, amidst the turmoil of the First World War. The image captures a poignant moment during Russian Flag Day in Truro, Cornwall. Two determined women can be seen collecting donations from a uniformed man on a motorbike, as they stand at the junction of Lemon Street and Infirmary Hill near The Daniell Arms pub. The scene is filled with a sense of unity and solidarity as these brave women selflessly contribute towards supporting Russia's war efforts. Their unwavering dedication shines through their expressions, reflecting their commitment to aiding those affected by the conflict. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has skillfully captured this historic event, freezing it in time for future generations to reflect upon. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era where communities rallied together despite adversity. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that war had on even remote corners of Britain like Cornwall during this tumultuous period. It immortalizes not only the bravery and resilience of those involved but also highlights how local communities played an active role in supporting nations embroiled in global conflicts. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this remarkable image stands testament to our shared history and reminds us never to forget those who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
