EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the No. 1 Building of the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital in Broomhall during World War I. Taken by Professor (then Colonel) A. M. Connell, this image is part of a compilation titled "3rd Northern General Hospital, Sheffield" which documents various moments from the Great War between 1915 and 1918. The photograph showcases the impressive architecture of the hospital building, standing tall amidst a backdrop of war-torn surroundings. Its sturdy structure symbolizes hope and resilience in times of adversity. As one gazes at this historic image, they can almost feel the weight of history that rests upon these walls. Located in Broomhall, this base hospital played a crucial role in providing medical care to countless soldiers who bravely fought on the frontlines. It served as a sanctuary for wounded soldiers seeking solace and healing amid chaos and destruction. Professor Connell's meticulous documentation offers us a glimpse into life at both the Base Hospital and Longshaw during those tumultuous years. The collection serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in understanding the impact of war on society. As we reflect upon this poignant photograph from Sheffield City Archives, let us honor all those who selflessly dedicated themselves to saving lives during World War I. May their courage inspire future generations to strive for peace even amidst turmoil.
