EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of Christmas in the midst of the chaos and hardships of the First World War. The image on the front of the card features a cheerful Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) member, dressed in her uniform, sending a heartfelt farewell message to her loved ones back home. With a bright smile and a wave, she calls out "Cheerio, All's Well" from her camp in France, assuring them that she is doing her best to keep the holiday spirit alive amidst the challenges of the war. The reverse side of the card bears the date "December 1918," a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these women during the final months of the war. The WAAC was formed in 1917 to support the war effort by providing administrative, clerical, and other non-combatant services. The women who served in the WAAC and other women's auxiliary organizations played a crucial role in the war effort, freeing up men for the front lines and contributing to the eventual Allied victory. The suffrage movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, gained momentum during the war years, and the WAAC and other women's organizations provided a platform for women to demonstrate their capabilities and contribute to the war effort. This Christmas card is a testament to the resilience and determination of these women, who continued to fight for their causes, both on the home front and on the battlefield. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the women who served during the First World War, and the enduring spirit of the holiday season, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
