EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of pride and celebration during the tumultuous period of World War I. The image shows a sea of female munitions workers from the National Projectile Factory on Clydeside, dressed in their work clothes, filling the stands at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow. The women, who became known as 'munitionettes,' played a crucial role in the war effort by producing munitions for the British military. In September 1917, King George V paid a visit to the area to carry out a Royal Investiture, recognizing the vital contributions of these women to the war effort. The workers were given the rare opportunity to witness this historic event, which was a testament to their importance in the war industry. The photograph provides a powerful reminder of the significant roles women played during the First World War, as they stepped out of traditional gender roles to take on jobs in factories and contribute to the war effort in unprecedented ways. The women's collective presence at Ibrox Stadium that day symbolized their unity, determination, and resilience in the face of adversity. The photograph is a poignant historical document, offering a glimpse into the lives of these women and their experiences during a pivotal time in history. It is a testament to their courage and the critical role they played in the war effort, making it an essential addition to any collection of World War I history.
