EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment during the First World War, showcasing the invaluable contribution of women reservists. In this image, taken around 1914-1918 and later published in "The Great World War - A History" we witness a group of dedicated female ambulance corps members delivering milk to a hospital. Amidst the chaos of war, these brave women took on essential roles on the home front, ensuring that hospitals had an adequate supply of milk for patients. Clad in their distinctive uniforms, they carry churns filled with fresh morning milk as they navigate through the bustling streets. The determination etched upon their faces reflects their commitment to supporting those affected by the horrors of war. Photographer Unknown beautifully captures not only their physical strength but also highlights how gender norms were challenged during this tumultuous period. This image serves as a poignant reminder that women played an integral part in shaping history beyond traditional domestic roles. Published by The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd. , this photograph is one among many treasures preserved in "The Great World War - A History". It stands as a testament to the resilience and unwavering spirit displayed by countless women who stepped up to serve their communities during times of crisis. As we reflect upon this snapshot from our past, let us honor these courageous women reservists whose tireless efforts contributed significantly to both the war effort and societal progress at large.
