A Woman At War - The Experiences of an Army Signaller in France, 1917-1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and historic firsthand account penned by a brave woman who served in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) Signals Unit 807, L during World War I. This photograph captures the intense focus and determination of a WAAC signaller at work in the field of France. The image portrays the woman in uniform, her eyes fixed on the intricate wiring of her signalling equipment, her expression a testament to the mental and physical demands of her role. The backdrop of the image is the harsh and unforgiving terrain of the Western Front, with the ruins of a destroyed building in the distance, a stark reminder of the devastating impact of the war. Published in Liverpool by the Daily Post Printers, this book offers a unique perspective on the role of women in the military during this pivotal period in history. The WAAC, established in 1917, allowed women to serve their country in various support roles, including signalling, clerical work, and driving. The signallers, like the woman in this photograph, played a crucial role in maintaining communication lines between units and headquarters, often under dangerous conditions. The title of the book, "A Woman At War," encapsulates the courage and resilience of the women who served in the military during World War I. This photograph and the accompanying text provide a valuable insight into their experiences, offering a glimpse into the realities of life on the front lines for these remarkable women. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the significant contributions made by women during the First World War and serves as a testament to their bravery, determination, and unwavering commitment to their country. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these women and the vital role they played in the military effort during this period of military history.
