EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a remarkable moment in history during World War I. Taken in Sheffield, Yorkshire around 1917, the image showcases a bus carrying Belgian casualties through the streets of Broomhall and Collegiate Crescent. The original photograph is preserved at Sheffield Libraries under reference number s00147. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the resilience and compassion of humanity amidst the chaos of war. The sight of these wounded soldiers being transported to safety on a bus speaks volumes about the collective effort to aid those affected by conflict. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great adversity, communities come together to support one another. The significance of this particular scene lies not only in its portrayal of Belgian casualties but also in its location within Sheffield's historical landscape. Broomhall and Collegiate Crescent were known for their vibrant community spirit, making it fitting that they played host to such an act of solidarity towards refugees from Belgium. As we reflect upon this evocative image today, let us remember the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War I. May it inspire us to continue fostering empathy and unity across borders, ensuring that no one is left behind or forgotten amidst turmoil.
