Women Religious Zionists in photo
There are several women in the photo, and they are all wearing pants. If they are Orthodox Jewish religious Zionists, wouldn't they be obliged to wear skirts? Most contemporary observant Orthodox Jews, especially in Israel, would say that women should not wear pants. Also, the young man on the ground is reaching to help a woman Zionist out of the truck. If he touched her, this would almost certainly be a violation of shomer negiah. Were religious Zionists less stringent or less strictly Orthodox back in the 1940s when that photo was taken?
