EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the First World War era, specifically around 1917. It showcases two remarkable members of the Women's Land Army leading a horse and cart through Princes Street in Truro, Cornwall. The image beautifully captures their strength, determination, and contribution to the war effort. The woman on the cart is believed to be Ms. Trejeweth, while Ms. I. Crowther confidently leads the majestic horse forward. Their faces reflect both resilience and pride as they navigate through a bustling street filled with onlookers who undoubtedly admire their vital role during such challenging times. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully freezes this moment in history for us to appreciate today. His lens not only documents these extraordinary women but also immortalizes their dedication towards supporting agriculture and maintaining food production amidst wartime constraints. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how women played an integral part in shaping society during World War I – breaking gender stereotypes and contributing significantly to various industries previously dominated by men. As we delve into this snapshot from our past, let us honor these unsung heroes of Cornwall who fearlessly stepped up when their country needed them most. May their legacy continue to inspire future generations as we strive for equality and recognize the invaluable contributions made by all individuals regardless of gender or background.
