"If you can't fight, farm" carriage at Westend

Subject

World War I homefront

Description

This photograph was likely taken in the fields of Westend Farm during WWI, when there would have been a need for farmers to supply food to the soldiers overseas.

Lucy and Nancy Taylor stayed on Westend and kept it going as a farm while two male members of their family, brother Admiral David Watson Taylor and nephew Henry Taylor, fought in the war effort.
