Sergeants" it showcases the camaraderie and spirit of competition that thrived even in the midst of conflict. Taken at the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital in Broomhall, Sheffield, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of military personnel who found themselves as patients or casualties during this tumultuous time. In this snapshot frozen in time, officers and sergeants come together on the tennis court to engage in a friendly match. The scene is filled with determination and sportsmanship as these brave individuals momentarily set aside their rank and responsibilities to enjoy some much-needed recreation.
