EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mrs. George Barnett, Red Cross Luncheon, 1917," showcases Lelia Montague Gordon, an extraordinary volunteer during the First World War. The image was captured by the renowned photography studio, Harris & Ewing. Lelia Montague Gordon, later known as Lelia Sinclair Montague Gordon Barnett, is depicted in the photograph while volunteering at a Red Cross mobile kitchen. Her husband, Major General George Barnett, served as the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps during that period. The image captures Lelia in an elegant yet practical outfit, donning an apron and holding a ladle, as she prepares food for those in need. The photograph is a testament to the significant role women played during the war on the home front. They volunteered in various capacities, including cooking, nursing, and providing other essential services. This image, taken by Harris & Ewing, is a valuable piece of history that highlights the selflessness and resilience of women during the First World War. The photograph, which is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, was taken during the 1910s in the USA. The image is a fascinating blend of fashion, domesticity, and the spirit of service, making it an essential addition to any collection focusing on the American Red Cross, the First World War, or the role of women during wartime.
