Recreation Room - A Glimpse into Respite Amidst the Chaos of World War I
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, generously donated by The P. I. P. S. 3rd Northern General Base Hospital, offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of those affected by the Great War. Captured between 1915 and 1918 at Broomhall's Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, this image transports us to a time when snooker tables became symbols of solace amidst the turmoil. Within these walls, casualties and patients found respite from their physical and emotional wounds. The Recreation Room served as an oasis where military personnel sought moments of camaraderie and distraction from the harsh realities outside its doors. Here, they could momentarily escape the horrors of war through friendly games and shared laughter. The carefully arranged snooker tables stand as silent witnesses to countless stories etched upon their surfaces - tales of bravery, sacrifice, resilience, and hope. This room was more than just a space; it was a sanctuary that provided much-needed comfort during dark times. As we gaze upon this historical artifact preserved within Sheffield City Archives' collection compiled by Professor (then Colonel) A. M. Connell, let us remember those who sought solace within these walls. May their spirits inspire us to appreciate the value of recreation in healing wounded souls
