This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the year 1914, amidst the chaos of World War I. In this historic snapshot, we are introduced to Lizzie Ward, a remarkable elephant who played an unexpected role in supporting Thomas W. Ward's endeavors in Sheffield, Yorkshire. During these trying times, animals too were called upon to contribute their strength and resilience for the war effort. Lizzie became an integral part of Thomas W. Ward's operations as she tirelessly worked alongside her human counterparts. With her immense size and gentle demeanor, she proved invaluable in transporting heavy loads and aiding in various construction projects. As we gaze at this image frozen in time, it is impossible not to marvel at the sheer magnitude of Lizzie's presence against the backdrop of war-torn Sheffield.
