EDITORS COMMENTS
The Post Girls bring joy and entertainment to the wounded soldiers at 3rd Northern General Hospital during World War I. This print captures a moment of respite amidst the chaos of war, as these brave women organize a Whist Drive for the patients. Located at Western Road School in Crookes, Sheffield, this hospital served as a sanctuary for countless casualties from 1915 to 1918. The image is part of an invaluable collection compiled by Professor A. M. Connell, who was then Colonel during those tumultuous times. In this heartwarming scene, we witness the power of camaraderie and compassion. The Post Girls selflessly dedicate their time and energy to uplift the spirits of these brave soldiers through friendly card games and laughter-filled conversations. The photograph not only showcases the resilience and determination of those affected by war but also sheds light on how pastimes played a crucial role in maintaining morale within hospitals like this one. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of great adversity, human connection can provide solace and healing. Preserved by Sheffield City Archives under Cat. No. 940.476274 SSTF, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into history—a testament to the strength and unity displayed during one of humanity's darkest periods.
