A photograph of women involved in Post Office work during the First World War. (TWCMS: K15340) As male staff joined the armed forces, women became responsible for delivering mail and working as telegraph messengers.

A large proportion of work for women was in transport, and women took on the role of conductress’ and in some cases, drivers on buses and trams. This black and white photograph shows a tram conductress in uniform. (TWCMS: 2000.2048)

With the outbreak of the war, the number of wounded and injured soldiers rapidly increased and there was a great need for more hospitals and medical staff. Along with licensed, fully trained nurses, voluntary nurses known as Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) willingly gave their time to care for the wounded. This photograph shows a nurse at the 25th Durham VA Hospital in Ashburne, Sunderland with recovering patients.

Like the men fighting away at war, Nurses were also sent away from home and their families to the front to provide aid to military and naval forces. This postcard shows a horse drawn ambulance with soldiers standing in the cart and two nurses attending to a sick patient. (TWCMS: 2000.2177)

On War Service Badge. The On War Service badge was issued exclusively to women workers ‘engaged in the manufacture of munitions of war or other urgent war work.’ Over 270,000 were issued between May and December 1916. (TWCMS: N67)

March 11 1915: A letter from Buckingham Palace to Mrs Elizabeth T Toad, conveying Her Majesty the Queen’s most grateful thanks for her kind contribution to the comforts of the troops at the front. (TWCMS: 2008.1242)

March 25 1919 A postcard from R Ward & Sons confirming that Miss Kate Lunan started work for the firm on April 2 1915 and finished working on November 9 1917. (TWCMS: 2011.1401) As the war drew to a close, men returned home and went back to work, resulting in women losing their jobs and new found freedom.
