Soldiers reading the Suffragette newspaper, April 1915. That week's editorial by Christabel Pankhurst expressed intensely anti-German sentiments typical of the time. The front cover image is a reproduction of a French cartoon of Joan of Arc (St Joan) in full military armour, hovering as an angel above Rheims Cathedral, which had been badly damaged in September 1914. The headline screams: 'That which the fire and Sword of the Germans Can Never Destroy'.
