EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment during World War I, where members of the Waltonian Angling Society selflessly entertained wounded soldiers from the 3rd Northern General Hospital. The image is taken from the historical compilation by Professor (then Colonel) A. M. Connell, showcasing life at the Base Hospital and Longshaw between 1915 and 1918. In this poignant scene, we witness the power of camaraderie as these brave anglers bring joy and respite to military patients turned casualties. Despite their own sacrifices for their country, these dedicated individuals take it upon themselves to provide solace through their shared passion for fishing. The setting exudes tranquility as they gather around a serene body of water, casting lines into its depths with precision and skill. The soldiers' faces light up with smiles that momentarily mask the pain they endure daily on the battlefield. It is in moments like these that humanity triumphs over adversity. Sheffield City Archives has preserved this invaluable snapshot of compassion amidst chaos, reminding us all of our duty to support those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Let this image serve as a testament to both the resilience of our armed forces and the unwavering spirit of community that binds us together in times of strife.
