EDITORS COMMENTS
Farewell to the Land Girls: Princess Mary Presents Medals at Drapers Hall (December 1919) This poignant photograph captures a significant moment in the history of women's roles during wartime, as Princess Mary presents medals to Land Girls at their last rally before demobilisation. The scene unfolds at Drapers Hall in 1919, where fifty-five women were recognized for their exceptional bravery and dedication while in charge of horses, cattle, and other essential tasks during World War I. In this image, the Princess is seen decorating Miss Ascanio with a Distinguished Service Bar, an award that symbolized their invaluable contributions to the war effort. The Land Girls, who had played a crucial role in the agricultural sector during the war, were disbanded following the end of hostilities. This ceremony marked a formal farewell and recognition of their service. The Princess Mary, a member of the British royal family, was a prominent figure in supporting the war efforts. Her presence at the event underscored the importance of the Land Girls' contributions and their place in the annals of history. The Countess of Harewood, who is also present in the photograph, further emphasizes the significance of the occasion. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the critical role women played during the Great War, challenging traditional gender norms and paving the way for future female participation in the military and beyond. The Land Girls' story is a testament to their courage, resilience, and the essential role they played in ensuring the nation's survival during a time of crisis.
