EDITORS COMMENTS
Chicken Munitions Shells WW1: A Brown Hen Proudly Doing Her Bit! (circa 1916) During the tumultuous years of the First World War, the spirit of patriotism and determination was not confined to the battlefields alone. The home front was equally important, and women, in particular, played a crucial role in supporting the war effort in various ways. One such unique contribution came from an unexpected source – a brown hen. This image, taken circa 1916, depicts a proud hen, clucking contentedly as she lays an extraordinary egg. But this is no ordinary egg; it is a chicken munitions shell, a testament to the innovative spirit and resourcefulness of the time. With the demand for munitions skyrocketing, the British government sought unconventional methods to meet the production quota. Enter the humble hen. The idea of using chicken eggs to make munitions shells was not new. The process involved collecting fresh eggs, draining the yolk and white, and replacing them with explosives. The shells were then sealed and hardened before being sent off to the front lines. This ingenious method not only helped meet the demand for munitions but also provided employment opportunities for women, many of whom were suffragettes, fighting for their rights and suffrage. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the extraordinary lengths people went to during the First World War, demonstrating the power of innovation, resilience, and unity in the face of adversity. The brown hen in the image, with her head held high and a sense of purpose in her eyes, symbolizes the indomitable spirit of the women who contributed to the war effort in their own unique ways.
