EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a remarkable moment during the tumultuous years of World War I. The image showcases His Majesty King George V engaging in heartfelt conversations with patients at the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital in Broomhall, Sheffield. The year is 1915, and amidst the chaos of war, King George V demonstrates his unwavering commitment to his people by personally visiting wounded soldiers. With compassion etched on his face, he takes time out of his royal duties to connect with these brave individuals who have sacrificed so much for their country. Surrounded by dedicated nurses and medical staff, this snapshot captures a poignant scene that speaks volumes about the resilience and unity forged during wartime. The presence of casualties reminds us of the immense sacrifices made on both sides of the conflict. This photograph is part of an invaluable collection compiled by Professor A. M. Connell (then Colonel) titled "3rd Northern General Hospital, Sheffield". It offers a glimpse into life at the Base Hospital and Longshaw between 1915 and 1918—a period marked by countless acts of heroism and selflessness. As we reflect upon this historic moment frozen in time, let us remember those who fought valiantly for our freedom. May their courage inspire future generations to strive for peace even in times of adversity.
