EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration captures the moment of departure for a group of brave and determined women as they prepare to embark on their journey with the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) during the winter of 1919-1920. The First World War had come to an end, but the WRAF continued to play a vital role in the demobilization process and the reorganization of the Royal Air Force. The women in the illustration are shown bundled up against the cold, donning their uniforms and loading their belongings into the back of a lorry. Their expressions convey a mix of anticipation, excitement, and perhaps a hint of apprehension as they embark on this new chapter in their lives. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the crucial role women played in the military during the First World War, and the sacrifices they made in the name of duty and service. The Women's Royal Air Force was formed in March 1918, and by the end of the war, over 15,000 women had served in various roles, including clerical, administrative, and technical positions. This illustration is a testament to their resilience, adaptability, and courage in the face of unprecedented challenges. The Women's Royal Air Force was disbanded in 1921, but its legacy lived on, paving the way for women's increased participation in the military and broader society. This powerful image is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in the history of women in the military and in British history as a whole.
