EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This poignant print captures a heartwarming moment during the Great War, where members of the Waltonian Angling Society in Sheffield, Yorkshire, selflessly entertained wounded soldiers from the 3rd Northern General Hospital. Taken around 1916 and sourced from the esteemed collection of Professor A. M. Connell's compilation "3rd Northern General Hospital, Sheffield" this image provides a glimpse into an act of compassion amidst the chaos of war. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the respite provided by these dedicated anglers to those who had sacrificed their well-being for their country. The camaraderie between these two groups is palpable as they gather together at a serene fishing spot near the hospital grounds. The tranquil surroundings offer solace and distraction from the harsh realities faced by both parties. The Waltonian Angling Society's initiative showcases how recreational activities can play a vital role in boosting morale and aiding recovery among wounded soldiers. It serves as a testament to humanity's ability to find light even in times of darkness. Preserved within Sheffield City Archives' extensive catalog under Cat. No. 940.476274 SSTF, this photograph not only documents an important historical event but also symbolizes unity and compassion that transcends boundaries imposed by war or occupation
