EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment during World War I, where members of the Waltonian Angling Society are seen entertaining wounded soldiers from the 3rd Northern General Hospital. The image, taken between 1915 and 1918 at the Base Hospital and Longshaw in Sheffield, showcases the power of camaraderie and compassion amidst the chaos of war. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of violinists from the Waltonians serenading these brave military patients. As they play their melodies with passion and skill, their music resonates across the tranquil waters surrounding them. Boats gently sway on the surface as symbols of hope and escape from the harsh realities faced by these soldiers. The scene is filled with an aura of unity as both anglers and patients come together to find solace in each other's company. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of adversity, humanity can still find ways to uplift spirits through shared interests like fishing. Preserved within Sheffield City Archives' collection compiled by Professor A. M. Connell (then Colonel), this print not only documents history but also encapsulates resilience and empathy during one of mankind's darkest periods. It stands as a testament to how simple acts of kindness can bring light into lives overshadowed by conflict
