EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to late July or August 1916, during the tumultuous years of the First World War. The image showcases a group of dedicated workers at Nobels Explosive Works in Perranporth, Perranzabuloe, Cornwall. Despite being a time of great uncertainty and danger, these individuals stand united in their mission to support the war effort. In this remarkable snapshot captured by photographer Arthur William Jordan, we see women workers proudly donning triangular badges marked "On War Service". These badges symbolize their invaluable contribution towards ensuring victory on the frontlines. Their presence serves as a testament to the significant role that women played during this era, stepping into traditionally male-dominated industries and proving their capabilities beyond doubt. The photograph not only highlights the resilience and determination of these workers but also offers an insight into life on the home front during wartime. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to supply essential materials for warfare. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us remember those who labored selflessly during one of humanity's darkest periods. Their dedication and unwavering spirit continue to inspire generations today.
