EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1918, we are transported back to the First World War era in Cornwall, where two courageous members of the Women's Land Army are seen engaged in tree felling. Kneeling amidst a serene wooded area, these determined women prepare to tackle their arduous task with a cross-cut saw. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, which include sturdy boots, gaiters, felt hats, and pale fabric overalls, these Cornish girls epitomize resilience and dedication. Their presence in such traditionally male-dominated work is a testament to the vital role played by women during this tumultuous period. Captured by photographer Arthur William Jordan at an undisclosed location within Cornwall’s picturesque landscapes, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the immense contributions made by women on the home front during World War I. It showcases not only their physical strength but also their unwavering spirit and determination. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, let us honor these unsung heroines who stepped forward when their country needed them most. They embody the indomitable spirit that defined an entire generation during one of humanity's darkest chapters. May their legacy continue to inspire future generations as they navigate through challenges with courage and unity.
