Airforce Colleague Colleagues Consulting Fortune Future Months Teller Telling Wraf 1919 Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration offers a glimpse into the everyday life of the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) during the aftermath of the First World War. Dated between 1919 and 1920, the image depicts four WRAF members intently consulting a colleague, who acts as a fortune teller, with a spread of playing cards laid out on the table before them. The women's uniforms, adorned with brass buttons and badges, signify their service in the air force, adding an intriguing layer to this seemingly mundane moment. The WRAF was established in March 1918, providing vital support to the military effort during World War I. With the war's end, these women continued to serve their country in various roles, including clerical, administrative, and medical duties. This illustration showcases the camaraderie and leisure time that existed within the WRAF community. The paranormal practice of fortune telling was a popular pastime during this era, and it appears that these women have taken a break from their duties to engage in this entertaining and mystical activity. The fortune teller, dressed in a flowing robe and holding a crystal ball, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The cards, with their cryptic symbols and meanings, hint at the women's hopes, fears, and dreams for the future. This evocative image offers a unique perspective on the experiences of the Women's Royal Air Force during the post-war period, revealing the human side of these remarkable women who played an essential role in shaping history.
