Stepping into History - The Courageous Women of the First World War Womens Land Army
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to April-May 1917 at Tregavethan Farm in Truro, Cornwall. Nine determined recruits of the Womens Land Army stand proudly, suitcases in hand, ready to embark on their noble mission. Each woman's name is etched with pride from left to right: possibly Ms. Vera Dunfrane, Ms. Northey, Ms. Trejeweth, Ms. Nora Lock, Ms. I. Crowther, Ms. Dorothy Phyllis Martin, Ms. Brown - an unknown face follows - and Mrs. Ford. Their presence exudes resilience and determination as they prepare for the challenges that lie ahead during the Great War era when women took up crucial roles traditionally held by men who had gone off to fight on the front lines. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has masterfully captured a moment frozen in time; a testament to these unsung heroines' unwavering commitment towards supporting their nation's war efforts through agricultural labor. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the countless women who stepped out of societal norms and embraced vital responsibilities during times of crisis – forever changing perceptions about gender roles and paving the way for future generations. As we gaze upon this historical treasure preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum today, let us honor these brave souls whose contributions were instrumental in shaping our world while never forgetting their sacrifices made amidst tumultuous times.
