EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the women who worked tirelessly in canteens during the First World War, providing comfort and sustenance to soldiers on the front lines. The image features a Trench Coat by Aquascutum, a leading fashion house of the time, which was specifically designed for these women. Dated back to 1916, this coat was made of khaki drill, an ideal color for the military setting, and interlined with oil silk for added insulation. Its most notable feature, however, was the detachable fleece lining, which made it an essential piece of clothing for ladies working in draughty places such as railway stations. The Trench Coat was not only practical but also stylish, reflecting the fashion trends of the era. The design was simple yet elegant, with a belted waist that accentuated the feminine figure and long sleeves that protected the arms from the cold. The coat's timeless appeal is evident even today, making it a popular choice for those seeking a classic and versatile outerwear piece. The women in this photograph embody the spirit of resilience and dedication that defined the war effort. They worked long hours in challenging conditions, providing essential services to the troops and keeping the home front running smoothly. The Trench Coat by Aquascutum was just one of the many ways in which fashion played a role in supporting the war effort, providing practical and functional clothing for those who needed it most. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the women who worked in canteens during the First World War, and the importance of fashion in providing both comfort and functionality during times of crisis.
