EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War I, a sense of normalcy persists on the streets of Brighton, Sussex, as a milkmaid from Cowleys Dairy goes about her daily routine. In this evocative photograph from 1915, the milkmaid is seen pushing a wheeled churn on a hand cart, expertly balancing jugs of fresh milk atop the churn as she makes her way through the cobblestone streets. The old-fashioned float, with its wooden wheels and worn paint, adds to the nostalgic charm of the scene. In the background, the billboards of the era bear grim news of the ongoing conflict. The destruction of Warsaw's bridges is announced, a stark reminder of the devastation wreaked by the war. Despite the ominous headlines, the milkmaid continues her work, providing a vital service to her community. Her unwavering dedication to her role is a testament to the resilience and fortitude of those on the Home Front during this turbulent time in history. This photograph, captured in 1915, offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of a milkmaid during World War I. The image is a poignant reminder of the contrasting realities that coexisted during this period – the harsh realities of war and the enduring strength of human spirit and determination.
