EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this timeless print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to a significant moment during the First World War. It showcases a group of courageous women who were part of the Women's Land Army, playing leapfrog at Tregavethan Farm in Truro, Cornwall on September 13th, 1918. These remarkable ladies were not only defying societal norms but also contributing immensely to the war effort. As they engage in this playful activity after successfully completing their efficiency test, their camaraderie and determination shine through. The image captures both their strength and resilience amidst challenging times. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has skillfully frozen this fleeting moment for generations to come. Through his lens, he immortalizes these unsung heroes who worked tirelessly on the land while men fought on the front lines. Their dedication and hard work played an integral role in ensuring food security for Britain during those tumultuous years. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how women stepped up and took charge when their country needed them most. It is a testament to their unwavering spirit and willingness to break barriers that have inspired countless others since then. As we reflect upon our history, let us remember these brave members of the Women's Land Army whose contribution often went unnoticed or unacknowledged. May their legacy continue to inspire future generations striving for equality and justice.
