EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases a remarkable scene at Restormel Manor House in Lanlivery, Cornwall, during the tumultuous years of 1914-1918. Standing proudly amidst the backdrop of war is Dorothy Hoskin, a resilient milkmaid who becomes an emblematic figure of strength and perseverance. With her head held high and determination etched on her face, Dorothy carries a yoke adorned with two heavy milk pails. This simple act symbolizes not only her dedication to her work but also the unwavering spirit of those who carried on despite adversity during World War I. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan, this snapshot captures a moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates both hardship and resilience. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it serves as a poignant reminder of the countless individuals whose lives were forever altered by war. Lostwithiel's rich history comes alive through this photograph as it offers us a glimpse into daily life during wartime.

This print is more than just an artifact; it is a testament to human endurance and unity during times of great strife. It stands as a tribute to all those unsung heroes who quietly carried on with their duties while history unfolded around them.
