EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this historical print is a group of courageous women, nurses from the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital, as they prepare to embark on a life-changing mission to India during World War I. The image, taken between 1915 and 1918 at Broomhall, Sheffield, offers a glimpse into the dedication and sacrifice these remarkable individuals displayed during one of humanity's darkest times. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms and costumes, these brave nurses stand united before their departure. Their expressions reveal both determination and compassion; qualities that would undoubtedly serve them well amidst the chaos of war-torn India. Each face tells its own story - stories of resilience, empathy, and unwavering commitment to saving lives. This photograph is part of Professor A. M. Connell's compilation documenting the experiences at the Base Hospital and Longshaw during those tumultuous years. Preserved by Sheffield City Archives under Cat. No. 940.476274 SSTF), it serves as a poignant reminder of the invaluable role played by women in medicine during times of conflict. As we reflect upon this snapshot from history, let us honor these extraordinary nurses for their selflessness and bravery in serving others far away from home.
