EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history as members of the Salvation Army relief corps prepare to depart for the devastating Dayton, Ohio flood in March 1913. The image, taken by William Davis Hassler, showcases a group of dedicated individuals who are about to embark on a humanitarian mission to provide aid and support to those affected by the natural disaster. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see both men and women gathered together with their luggage and belongings. The women stand out prominently among the crowd, displaying their strength and determination as they join forces with their male counterparts. Their presence serves as a powerful reminder that gender equality was already being championed during this era. The composition exudes an air of anticipation and readiness. Each member of the relief corps carries with them not only physical baggage but also emotional weight, fully aware of the challenges they will face upon arrival in Dayton. Their expressions range from solemnity to resolve, reflecting their commitment to serving others selflessly. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of history captured through Hassler's lens, we are reminded of the importance of charitable organizations like the Salvation Army in times of crisis. This photograph stands as a testament to human resilience and compassion—a timeless tribute to those who dedicate themselves tirelessly towards helping others in need.
