EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the First World War. The image captures a powerful scene at the Frances Day public meeting held on July 12th, 1918, in Boscawen Street, Truro, Cornwall. As our gaze is drawn towards the center of attention, we see a distinguished man standing on a platform delivering an impassioned speech. His words resonate with determination and hope as he addresses the crowd gathered before him. To his left sits a remarkable lady adorned in her Women's Army Corps (WaC) uniform. Her hat proudly displays her badge, symbolizing her commitment and service during these challenging times. She exudes strength and resilience as she listens intently to every word spoken by the speaker. Seated next to her is another extraordinary woman dressed in her Women's Land Army uniform. With unwavering dedication etched across her face, she represents countless other women who stepped up during wartime to fill vital roles traditionally occupied by men. Photographer Arthur William Jordan expertly captures this historic moment for us all to witness generations later. Through his lens, we glimpse into an era where women played pivotal roles both on and off the battlefield. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their immense contributions and sacrifices made during World War I - their bravery forever etched into history books as they shattered societal norms while serving their country with honor and distinction.
