EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a significant era in history - the First World War. The image showcases a group of determined women, members of the Women's Land Army, diligently grooming horses under expert instruction. Believed to have been taken around 1917 at Tregavethan Farm in Truro, Cornwall, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the invaluable contribution made by these courageous ladies during wartime. The scene is filled with an air of purpose and camaraderie as these Cornish girls work together to care for these magnificent animals. Their dedication and hard work ensured that horses remained fit for service on the front lines, playing an essential role in supporting troops during this tumultuous period. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures both the strength and grace exhibited by these women as they tend to their equine companions. The image serves as a testament not only to their commitment but also highlights their resilience amidst challenging circumstances. As we reflect upon this powerful photograph, let us remember the countless unsung heroes who played vital roles behind-the-scenes during World War I. These brave women of the Women's Land Army embody determination, sacrifice, and patriotism - qualities that continue to inspire generations today.
