EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a poignant moment in history - Tremorvah, Truro, Cornwall on the 13th of July 1917. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness wounded soldiers masquerading as a mother and child who have triumphantly won a certificate at a baby show. The location is believed to be outside the grand Tremorvah House. The image carries with it an air of resilience and hope amidst the darkness of World War One. These brave soldiers, bearing both physical and emotional scars from their service, find solace in participating in this light-hearted event. Dressed convincingly as mother and child, they radiate joy and pride as they hold their well-deserved certificate. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures this heartwarming scene that speaks volumes about the human spirit's ability to endure even during times of great adversity. His lens immortalizes not only these courageous individuals but also serves as a testament to the strength and unity found within communities like Cornwall during wartime. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, let us remember those who sacrificed so much for our freedom. Let us honor their bravery while acknowledging that behind every war story lies countless untold tales of love, laughter, and camaraderie - just like this one captured outside Tremorvah House over a century ago.
