Sarah Brody- Washing clothes in France

from JWA Commons

• BobMeade said:

  This caption, " Washing clothes in helmet with very little water", appears to be incorrect. The women pictured is holding a rectangular shaped washboard upon her thighs. It has a wooden frame with a galvanized iron corrugated centerpiece or corrugated glass centerpiece against which the dirty clothes are rubbed to wash them. I have a washboard almost identical to the one in the photograph. With three buckets available, it is hard to see how a helmet would have been used. See some washboard references here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washboard images.google.com.au/images?hl=en&q=washboard&um=...

  SS Index gives an Irving Sadernsky (1918-2000) and a Nathan Sadernsky (1923-1984), both from Connecticut. An Irene Sadernsky Figarsky was in the class of 1945 at Norwich Free Academy in Connecticut, and served on the school's Jubilee Committee in 2005.
