EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to St Clement in Truro, Cornwall, during the tumultuous times of World War One. The year is likely May 1918, and amidst a backdrop of uncertainty and sacrifice, we witness a remarkable scene that encapsulates the spirit of resilience and unity. A horse-drawn cart takes center stage as it proudly bears the name "A. C. Polwhele" - belonging to none other than A. C. Polwhele of Polwhele House. However, what truly captures our attention is the figure behind its reins: a member of the Women's Land Army. Clad in their distinctive uniforms, these brave women stepped forward during wartime to fill vital roles traditionally held by men who had gone off to fight. As they navigate through Truro's streets with determination etched on their faces, this image becomes an emblematic representation of female empowerment and strength in adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder that even within war-torn landscapes, everyday life continued with unwavering resolve. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan – whose lens immortalized countless moments throughout history – this snapshot offers us an intimate glimpse into a specific chapter within Cornish heritage; one where land girls played an integral part in sustaining agricultural production for both local communities and soldiers at war. This print not only preserves precious memories but also pays homage to those who selflessly contributed towards Britain's war efforts on the home front.
