EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brave and resolute PTE Ritchie V. C. of the Black Watch, standing tall amidst the trying times of World War I. Believed to have been taken at the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital in Broomhall, Sheffield, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of those who fought valiantly for their country. The solemn atmosphere within Ward 1 is palpable as wounded soldiers lie in various stages of recovery. Nurses diligently attend to their needs, providing comfort and care during these tumultuous times. The hospital wards serve as a sanctuary for casualties from all walks of life, united by their shared sacrifice and determination. Professor (then Colonel) A. M. Connell compiled this poignant collection titled "3rd Northern General Hospital, Sheffield" during the Great War years between 1915 and 1918. Through his lens, he captured not only moments within the base hospital but also scenes from Longshaw. As we reflect upon this historical photograph, it serves as a reminder of both the horrors endured on the battlefield and humanity's unwavering resilience in times of adversity. Let us honor those who selflessly served their nations with courage and valor while expressing our gratitude to medical professionals who tirelessly cared for them
