Women as Only Army



This photo was taken in Ireland in 1972 where a girl is firing the weapon of her fiancé, who was wounded in battle against the British Army.

 After taking his rifle, she covered the evacuation of her loved one until she was killed.

When the commander of the battalion of English paratroopers learned that they had fought a woman, he ordered his soldiers not to touch her body and allowed the Irish people to bury her.

This English officer said memorable words
 “We are defending the Queen, who is not thinking of us. It was the woman who defended her beloved and her land.”

This photo was chosen as a symbol for Women’s Day in Ireland and had this caption: “Don’t be afraid to tie your life to a strong woman. Maybe the day will come when she becomes your only army.”
