Doing Their Bit: A Gardener and Baker of the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) during the First World War This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) members as they contributed to the war effort from the home front. The WAAC was established in March 1917 to release men for active military service by providing support services in non-combatant roles. The smiling gardener in this image is dressed in her WAAC uniform, complete with a forage cap and a badge displaying the Corps' insignia. She holds a spade in one hand and a trowel in the other, ready to tend to the vegetable patch. Her expression conveys a sense of pride and determination, as she does her part to ensure the country's food supply remained strong during the war. In the background, a WAAC baker is seen kneading dough and shaping loaves in a makeshift bakery. Her uniform is adorned with the same insignia as her gardening colleague, and her apron is covered in flour. The baker's focused expression and the warm glow emanating from the oven suggest the delicious aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the air. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role women played during the First World War, as they stepped up to fill the gaps left by men in various industries, including agriculture and food production. The image also serves as a testament to the resilience, determination, and camaraderie of the WAAC members, who did their bit to support the war effort and contribute to the nation's morale.
