EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the spirit of the Volunteer Movement in Britain during the year 1861, as women enthusiastically join their families and friends in the military training encampment at Wimbledon. The Volunteer Movement, also known as the Palmerston Fortifications or the Part-time Soldier Movement, was a civilian initiative to supplement the regular military forces in response to perceived threats from European powers. The scene at Wimbledon Camp is filled with a sense of camaraderie and determination, as men and women work together to prepare for potential military action. Women, who were typically relegated to the sidelines during military engagements, are seen here in the thick of it, donning military attire and participating in drills alongside their male counterparts. The presence of women in the Volunteer Movement was a significant departure from traditional gender roles, and served to challenge societal norms and expectations. The image also highlights the importance of family and community in the Volunteer Movement. Families are seen working together, with children playing nearby and older generations offering guidance and support. This sense of unity and shared purpose was a powerful motivator for many volunteers, who saw their involvement as a way to protect their loved ones and contribute to the greater good. Despite the playful and lighthearted atmosphere captured in the photograph, the Volunteer Movement was a serious endeavor. The training and drills provided valuable military experience and prepared volunteers for potential combat situations. The movement ultimately played a role in shaping the British military and its approach to national defense for decades to come.
