Truro Railway Station, Cornwall. 1914-1918 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Railway Staff during World War I
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a significant era in history - the First World War. Against the backdrop of Truro railway station, five individuals stand on the platform, their presence resonating with strength and resilience amidst turbulent times. Three men and two women proudly don their uniforms, representing their dedication to keeping Britain's railways running smoothly during this challenging period. The women catch our attention with their GWR armbands, symbolizing their affiliation with Great Western Railways. Their inclusion serves as a poignant reminder that women played an integral role in supporting essential services while men were away at war. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time; it reveals not only the physical surroundings but also hints at untold stories within each person's eyes. As we gaze upon them, we can almost feel the anticipation and uncertainty that must have permeated every aspect of life during those years. Adjacent to them stands a train on another platform - perhaps ready to transport soldiers or civilians alike across distant lands affected by conflict. This juxtaposition between everyday routines and wartime realities is both thought-provoking and humbling. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has expertly captured this snapshot of history for future generations to reflect upon. Through his lens, we are transported back over a century ago, allowing us to appreciate the sacrifices made by these railway staff members
