EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print from the early 1900s, we are transported back to a time of immense significance - World War One. The image showcases the remarkable women who played an integral role at the National Explosives Works in Gwithian, Hayle, Cornwall. Amidst a predominantly female workforce, one can spot a single male figure standing alongside them, possibly serving as their manager or supervisor. As history unfolded and nations were engulfed in conflict during the Great War, Cornwall became a vital hub for munitions production. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the lives of these courageous women who defied societal norms by stepping into traditionally male-dominated roles to support their country's war efforts. Their determined expressions and strong camaraderie reflect their dedication and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. These unsung heroes worked tirelessly day after day, ensuring that explosives were produced efficiently and safely for use on the frontlines. This poignant image serves as a testament to the strength and determination of women during times of crisis. It reminds us of their invaluable contributions throughout history that have often been overlooked or forgotten. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this photograph not only captures an important moment in Cornish history but also pays homage to those whose sacrifices helped shape our world today.
