EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of dedicated members of the Women's Emergency Corps (WEC) as they learn the art of toy making in September 1914. With Germany being the primary exporter of toys to Britain before the outbreak of World War I, the sudden disruption of imports created a pressing need for a domestic alternative. In response, various voluntary organizations and factories across the country rallied to meet the demand. The Women's Emergency Corps, an integral part of the war effort, played a significant role in this initiative. This image shows the women intently focused on their tasks, their expressions reflecting a sense of determination and purpose. The toys they are making, which range from dolls to wooden vehicles, will bring joy and comfort to children whose lives have been upended by the war. The WEC's role in toy manufacture was just one of many that women took on during this period. Their contributions to the war effort were diverse and essential, from munitions work to nursing, agriculture, and transportation. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the British people during a time of crisis, as they came together to support their country and its children in the face of adversity.
