Description
English: WOMEN IN THE COAL MINES OF GARD, A DEPARTMENT OF SOUTHERN FRANCE. It has been due to the unremitting toil of such service armies as this that the fuel shortage in the north of France has not been even more serious than it now is. "If he slackens or fails, armies and statesmen are helpless," said President Wilson in his appeal to the American miner. This has been no less true in France, and the women miners have courageously assumed the vast responsibility. The blocks on the left are "briquettes" of coal.
Français : Femmes au travail dans les mines de charbon du Gard, pendant la première guerre.
