EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Sheffield City Archives, we are transported back to the era of World War I. The image showcases a group of nurses from the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital in Broomhall, their uniforms and costumes reflecting the time period. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war, these brave women stand united, ready to provide care and comfort to those in need. However, there is an air of shyness about them that is palpable even through the photograph. Their eyes cast downward, hands clasped together nervously; it is evident that despite their dedication and strength, they possess a natural timidity. Perhaps it is due to their young age or simply because they have been thrust into a world so different from what they knew before. The setting itself adds another layer of intrigue - the base hospital surrounded by its bustling activities during wartime. It serves as a reminder that behind every heroic act on the battlefield lies an army of compassionate individuals working tirelessly behind-the-scenes. This poignant snapshot offers us a glimpse into history's forgotten heroes - these selfless nurses who played an integral role in healing both physical wounds and wounded spirits during one of humanity's darkest times. Let us honor their unwavering commitment and remember them for generations to come.
