EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment during World War I at the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital in Broomhall. The image showcases the hospital's beloved mascot, a symbol of hope and companionship amidst the chaos of war. In this snapshot from 1916, we see soldiers gathered around their feathered friend, who brings solace and joy to those serving on the frontlines. The bird's vibrant plumage stands out against the backdrop of uniformed men, reminding us that even in times of darkness, beauty can still be found. The Mascot represents more than just an animal companion; it embodies resilience and unity within the military community. This photograph is part of a larger collection compiled by Professor A. M. Connell during his time as Colonel at the hospital between 1915 and 1918. As we delve into Sheffield City Archives' historical records, we gain insight into life at this base hospital and its connection to Longshaw during one of humanity's most challenging periods. Cat No. 940.476274 SSTF serves as a testament to our shared history and reminds us that even in times of conflict, compassion prevails
