EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite and recuperation for Australian soldiers at the 22nd General Hospital in Dannes-Camiers, near Boulogne, north-west France, during the First World War. Established in 1915, the hospital was one of several facilities set up by the Australian Army to care for wounded soldiers away from the front lines. In this image, we see a group of Australian patients lying in beds in the open air, surrounded by the lush greenery of the hospital grounds. The use of outdoor spaces for recuperation was a common practice during this period, as fresh air and sunlight were believed to aid in the healing process. The soldiers appear to be in various stages of recovery, some with bandaged limbs or wearing slings, while others seem more at ease. The hospital staff, dressed in white uniforms, attend to their patients with care and dedication. The serene atmosphere of the scene contrasts sharply with the chaos and destruction of the battlefields, offering a glimpse of the vital role hospitals played in providing medical care and support for soldiers during the Great War.
