EDITORS COMMENTS
This souvenir print commemorates the Women's Joy Loan Day celebrations that took place in Trafalgar Square on Saturday, 28th June 1919. The day was marked by a procession led by Lady St. Helier and other prominent women, including members of the Land Army, Women's Legion, Nurses, Red Cross, and Unionist women. The joyous occasion was a testament to the collective spirit and resilience of women during the trying times of the First World War. The illustration on the print features the Glorious Vindictive, an old cruiser that played a significant role in the Zeebrugge Raid of April 1918. The raid, a daring operation by the Royal Navy, aimed to disrupt German naval activity in the Belgian port of Zeebrugge. The successful mission is symbolic of the bravery and determination of the British forces and their allies during the war. The Women's Joy Loan Day was an opportunity for the public to show their appreciation and support for the women who had contributed to the war effort in various ways. The day was a celebration of their achievements and a reminder of the progress made towards women's rights and suffrage. The print serves as a historical record of this important event and a tribute to the women who played a crucial role in shaping the future of their country.
