EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during World War I, as the Officers of 3rd Northern General Base Hospital in Broomhall are presented to His Majesty King George V. Taken in 1915, this historical image showcases the bravery and dedication of these military personnel who served at the hospital. The solemn faces of the officers reflect their commitment to providing medical care and support to wounded soldiers during one of history's most devastating conflicts. Their uniforms bear witness to their rank and service, symbolizing their sacrifice for king and country. In this poignant scene, King George V stands tall and regal amidst a group of heroes. As he visits the hospital, his presence brings comfort and gratitude to those who have risked their lives on behalf of their nation. The royal visit serves as a testament to the importance placed on caring for injured servicemen during wartime. Preserved within Sheffield City Archives, this photograph is part of an extensive collection compiled by Professor A. M. Connell (then Colonel) from 1915-1918. It offers us a glimpse into life at the Base Hospital and Longshaw during those tumultuous years. As we observe this remarkable piece of history, let us remember all those who selflessly served in these hospitals - both officers like those pictured here and countless others whose names may be lost to time but whose contributions will forever be honored.
