I Have Chosen:
Photograph of Gertrude Rosewarne, a Red Cross Nurse in the First World War.
I chose this image because it was a very popular one with the British public as it shows a woman in the traditional role as a carer, unlike later images of women munitions workers or members of the armed forces. This photograph of Gertrude Rosewarne was brought to me in the Archive’s Roadshow in Llanelli by her great nephew.News & Events
