EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard from circa 1917 captures the spirit of support and solidarity during World War One, as the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) launched a special fund to commemorate the vital role of women in munitions factories. The image shows a young soldier, with a determined expression, extending a hand in appreciation to a group of women workers. The Great War saw an unprecedented expansion of women's employment in armament factories, as men were called to the front lines. The YMCA recognized the need to provide rest rooms and canteens for these women, creating a fund to support their wellbeing and morale. The Christian association's commitment to serving the needs of soldiers and workers alike was a testament to the collective effort required to sustain the war effort. This poignant postcard serves as a reminder of the crucial contributions made by women in the factories during WW1, and the essential role of organizations like the YMCA in supporting them.
