EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from around 1917, we are transported back to the era of the First World War, where a group of resilient women belonging to the Women's Land Army can be seen stooking wheat in Cornwall. Captured by photographer Arthur William Jordan, this image offers a glimpse into the vital role played by these courageous women during such challenging times. The photograph showcases a remarkable scene that symbolizes strength and unity. Standing proudly alongside various farm laborers, these determined members of the Women's Land Army are depicted with a three-horse binder, ready to tackle their important agricultural duties. The backdrop reveals neatly arranged stooks of wheat, serving as tangible evidence of their hard work and dedication. This historic snapshot not only highlights the significant contributions made by women on home soil during World War I but also pays homage to Cornish resilience and patriotism. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil and uncertainty, communities came together to ensure food security for their nation. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print stands as an invaluable testament to an extraordinary period in history. As we reflect upon those who selflessly served our country during WWI, let us remember and honor these unsung heroes – the brave members of the Women's Land Army who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to sustain our nation's prosperity.
