EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Running Repairs," offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) during the aftermath of the First World War. The image, dated between 1919 and 1920, depicts three WRAF members huddled around a small mirror, intently applying makeup and tending to their personal grooming. The women's uniforms, complete with peaked caps and brassard insignia, are a testament to their military service. The WRAF was established in March 1918, and by the end of the war, over 12,000 women had served in various roles, from clerical work to mechanics, drivers, and even ambulance drivers. This illustration serves as a reminder that even in the midst of war, women found the need to maintain their appearance and a sense of normalcy. The mirror, a small luxury in the midst of the chaos, became a symbol of resilience and determination. The Women's Royal Air Force played a crucial role in the war effort, freeing up men for combat roles and providing essential support services. Their contributions were invaluable, and their legacy continues to inspire women in the military today. This historic image offers a unique perspective into the lives of these remarkable women and their unwavering spirit during a time of great change and upheaval.
