EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a significant moment in history - the 22nd of September, 1915. The image captures an Express coach parked outside the Daniell Arms, nestled on Infirmary Hill in Truro, Cornwall. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we are drawn to a remarkable sight: a courageous woman climbing onto the coach's steps. In her hands, she holds vibrant flags adorned with the emblem of Russia. This brave lady is none other than a dedicated fundraiser for Russian Flag Day during World War I. With unwavering determination and resilience, she embarks on her mission to sell these patriotic symbols to passersby. The scene exudes an air of community spirit as horses patiently await their next journey while locals gather around this bustling public house. The atmosphere is undoubtedly charged with both anticipation and concern for loved ones fighting overseas. Photographer Arthur William Jordan masterfully captures this poignant moment against the backdrop of war-torn Europe. His lens immortalizes not only a simple act of fundraising but also serves as a testament to humanity's unyielding support during times of strife. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph print today, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst chaos and conflict, compassion and unity can prevail - forever etched into history by those who dared to make a difference.
