EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history during World War I. In the kitchens of a French army barracks, women are seen diligently preparing food for the soldiers on the front lines. The image, taken in 1916 and beautifully depicted through a colour lithograph by Eugene Damblans, showcases the vital role that women played in supporting the war effort. Amidst the chaos of warfare, these brave women can be seen working tirelessly under the watchful eyes of officers who provide instructions and guidance. Their presence not only highlights their dedication to serving their country but also challenges traditional gender roles as they take on tasks typically associated with men. The atmosphere is one of determination and resilience as these women engage in various culinary activities such as baking and cooking. Their efforts were crucial in ensuring that soldiers received nourishment amidst challenging conditions on the Western Front. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how war affects all aspects of society, including those left behind at home. It symbolizes unity, strength, and sacrifice while shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of wartime history -the invaluable contributions made by women. As we reflect upon this photograph from over a century ago, let us honor these remarkable individuals who selflessly supported their nation during one of its most trying times.
