EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of camaraderie and hope amidst the turmoil of World War I. Titled "Raffling The Blighty Bungalow" it showcases the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital in Sheffield, Yorkshire, during 1917. The hospital served as a sanctuary for wounded soldiers, providing them with essential care and support. In this image, we see a group of individuals gathered together, eagerly participating in a raffle. Their faces reflect both anticipation and gratitude as they await the outcome. These brave men have endured unimaginable hardships on the battlefield, but here they find solace within the walls of this hospital. The Blighty Bungalow symbolizes their yearning to return home – "Blighty" being slang for Britain or England. It represents their desire to heal quickly and be reunited with loved ones once more. Professor A. M. Connell compiled this remarkable collection during his time at the 3rd Northern General Hospital between 1915 and 1918. His dedication to documenting life at the hospital provides us with invaluable insight into an era marked by sacrifice and resilience. As we gaze upon this photograph today, let us remember those who selflessly served their country during that tumultuous period known as the Great War. May their stories continue to inspire future generations to strive for peace and unity in our world.
