In this evocative photograph from 1917, we witness an exhilarating moment in the history of women's football during World War I. The scene is set at Barnes, a picturesque suburb in southwest London, where two teams of war workers, Harrods Company and Sterling Firms, faced off against each other in a thrilling football match. The upper image captures the Harrods Company forwards in action, their determined expressions and focused gaze fixed on the ball. Each player is dressed in a simple yet practical uniform, consisting of a long-sleeved shirt, shorts, and socks. The team's kit is adorned with the Harrods emblem, a testament to their corporate affiliation. Below, the Sterling Firms team is shown, triumphantly celebrating their impressive victory over their opponents. They defeated Harrods by an impressive 8 goals to 2 in this particular November 1917 fixture. The women's athletic forms and jubilant expressions radiate a sense of camaraderie and achievement. The backdrop of World War I adds a layer of historical significance to this photograph. Women's football matches like this one served as a vital source of entertainment and morale boosters for the war-weary population.
