EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print captures a group of courageous nurses before their departure for India during World War I. Taken from the compilation by Professor (then Colonel) A. M. Connell, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of these remarkable women who dedicated themselves to providing medical care and support in challenging times. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, these brave nurses stand together as a united force ready to face the unknown. Their determined expressions reflect both resilience and compassion, qualities that were essential in their vital roles on the frontlines of healthcare. The 3rd Northern General Base Hospital in Broomhall served as their training ground and launching point for overseas service. This hospital played an instrumental role during the Great War, attending to wounded soldiers with utmost dedication and professionalism. As they prepare to embark on their journey to India, one can only imagine the mix of emotions running through each nurse's mind - excitement, apprehension, and perhaps even sadness at leaving loved ones behind. Yet they stood firm in their commitment to serve those affected by war far from home. This photograph is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it represents countless stories of sacrifice and bravery exhibited by women like them throughout history. It serves as a reminder of the invaluable contributions made by nurses during times of conflict – heroes whose selflessness continues to inspire us today.
