EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print captures the presence of a Chaplain (on the right) at the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital in Broomhall during World War I. The image, taken between 1915 and 1918, is part of an extensive compilation by Professor A. M. Connell, who was then serving as Colonel. This collection primarily focuses on life at the Base Hospital and Longshaw during this tumultuous period. The photograph showcases individuals dressed in military uniforms alongside clergy attire, highlighting the intersection of religion and war. As soldiers donning their military garb stand beside the Chaplain, it becomes evident that faith played a significant role in providing solace and support to those fighting on the front lines. Located in Sheffield, England, this hospital served as a crucial hub for medical care during World War I. Its significance extended beyond physical healing; it also provided spiritual guidance to wounded soldiers who sought comfort amidst chaos. Preserved within Sheffield City Archives under Catalogue Number 940.476274 SSTF, this print offers us a glimpse into history—an era marked by sacrifice and resilience. It serves as a reminder of the vital role played by institutions like these hospitals in supporting both body and soul during times of conflict
