EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as soldiers and nurses pose proudly in front of Bagthorpe Military Hospital in Nottingham. The hospital, which now forms part of City Hospital, once served as the workhouse infirmary, providing medical care for the city's poor and needy before being transformed into a military facility. The image, taken in 1916, offers a glimpse into the history of this remarkable building and the role it played during a time of great upheaval and hardship. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, stand tall and confident, while the nurses, in their starched uniforms and caps, exude a sense of calm and compassion. The hospital's grand balcony, adorned with ornate railings, provides a striking backdrop to the scene, highlighting the historical significance of the building. The soldiers and nurses seem to be enjoying a brief respite from the rigors of war, their expressions suggesting a sense of camaraderie and solidarity. The presence of the Union Jack flag adds to the patriotic atmosphere, reminding us of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served during this time. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of medical care during war time, and the vital role that hospitals and healthcare professionals play in supporting wounded soldiers and ensuring their recovery. Bagthorpe Military Hospital, now a part of Nottingham's rich history, stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who lived through the challenges of the First World War. This photograph offers a unique insight into a bygone era, and serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of medical care and compassion during times of crisis.
