EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing a group of brave sailors and staff at Trefusis House in Mylor, Cornwall on the 30th of June, 1916. The image portrays wounded sailors, mariners, and even some soldiers who sought solace and care at this Red Cross Auxiliary Hospital during the tumultuous years of the First World War. The composition is strikingly powerful as it showcases these courageous individuals standing outside Trefusis House. Their uniforms bear witness to their dedication and sacrifice for their country during one of the most devastating conflicts humanity has ever witnessed - World War One. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan, this snapshot immortalizes an important chapter in Cornish history. It serves as a reminder of the countless lives affected by war and pays tribute to those who selflessly served their nation amidst unimaginable circumstances. As we gaze upon this historical treasure from the Royal Cornwall Museum collection, we are transported back in time to an era where courage was tested daily and resilience prevailed against all odds. Let us not forget the sacrifices made by these men depicted here; may their memory inspire future generations to strive for peace and unity despite our differences
