EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage Christmas card print is a heartwarming glimpse into the spirit of camaraderie amidst the turmoil of World War I. The photograph showcases a cherished mascot from the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital, Broomhall, dating back to 1916. Assembled by Professor A. M. Connell (then Colonel), this historical compilation titled '3rd Northern General Hospital, Sheffield' offers an invaluable window into life during the Great War between 1915 and 1918. The focal point of this image is a delightful mascot that symbolizes hope and companionship during these challenging times. Nestled amongst military personnel, this endearing creature brings smiles to weary faces with its playful presence. Its exact species remains unknown; however, it serves as a reminder that even in war-torn surroundings, moments of joy can be found. This photograph was taken at the Base Hospital and Longshaw locations within Sheffield City Archives' extensive collection. Cataloged under number 940.476274 SSTF, it stands as a testament to the resilience and unity displayed by those serving on both sides of conflict. As we reflect upon history's pages through images like these, let us honor not only our brave soldiers but also their loyal mascots who provided comfort and solace amidst chaos.
