EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this poignant print from around 1917, we are transported back to the heart of Cornwall during the First World War. The image showcases two remarkable members of the Women's Land Army fearlessly taking charge amidst a vast field of golden wheat. One woman confidently drives a three-horse binder, skillfully maneuvering through the crop while her companion gracefully sits astride one of the horses, embodying strength and determination. As they diligently work, two men and their loyal canine companion walk behind them, providing support and guidance. In the distance, stooks stand tall against an idyllic Cornish backdrop - a testament to their tireless efforts in securing food for our nation during these challenging times. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has masterfully captured not only their physical labor but also their unwavering spirit that defined this era. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how women played an integral role on British farms during wartime when men were called away to fight. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into history; it honors those who selflessly contributed to our country's survival during World War I. Let us remember these brave women who defied societal norms and made invaluable contributions towards shaping our future.
