EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Sheffield City Archives, we are transported back to the year 1915 during the Great War. The image captures a significant moment as King George V addresses three brave individuals at the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital in Sheffield. Standing tall and proud, CPL. Fuller, V. C. , SGT. Joseph, D. C. M. , and SGT. Crookes, D. C. M. , represent the unwavering spirit of courage and sacrifice that defined this tumultuous era. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as these military heroes gather around their beloved monarch. Their uniforms bear witness to their valiant service on the front lines, while their expressions reflect both pride and humility in equal measure. This poignant photograph serves as a testament to the resilience of those who fought for our freedom during one of history's darkest chapters. It also highlights King George V's commitment to personally visit wounded soldiers, offering solace and recognition for their extraordinary bravery. Preserved within the pages of Professor A. M Connell's compilation "3rd Northern General Hospital, Sheffield" this image stands as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by countless men and women during World War I. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot captured at Broomhall's Longshaw Base Hospital nearly a century ago, let us honor those who selflessly served their country with unwavering dedication amidst unimaginable adversity.
