EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Gracie Fields, the beloved British music hall entertainer and actress, proudly dons the uniform of an Honorary Captain in the Canadian Women's Volunteer Reserve Corps during World War II. The image, captured in 1940, underscores the significant role Fields played in boosting morale and supporting the war effort both in her home country and abroad. Born Grace Stansfield in Rochdale, Lancashire, in 1898, Fields rose to prominence in the 1920s and 1930s as a popular singer, comedienne, and actress. Her charisma and talent endeared her to audiences, and she became a household name in the United Kingdom. When World War II broke out, Fields, who had long expressed her patriotism and support for the military, eagerly offered her assistance. In 1940, she traveled to Canada to entertain troops and raise funds for the war effort. Her visit was met with great enthusiasm, and she was soon appointed as an Honorary Captain in the Canadian Women's Volunteer Reserve Corps. This title was a testament to her dedication and commitment to the war effort, as well as her ability to inspire and unite people during a time of great adversity. The photograph captures Fields standing confidently, her eyes sparkling with determination and her expression radiating warmth. The Canadian flag and uniform emblems adorn her chest, while her hands are folded behind her back, emphasizing her military rank. The image is a poignant reminder of the crucial role that women, including entertainers like Gracie Fields, played in the Commonwealth's war efforts during World War II.
