EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the dedication and sacrifice of the officers and nursing staff of the Northern Star and Southern Cross Hospital during World War I. The image, dated 1916, features a group of men and women standing in two rows. In the back row, we see several nurses, including Miss Lindsay, Miss Reigh, Miss Talbot, and Miss Ethel McCaul, who was awarded the Royal Red Cross (RRC) for her outstanding service. Among the officers, we identify Lieut E H Keats of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (KOYLI), Lieut W Barnard of the Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry, Captain Mowat of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), Lieut E Cameron of the Argyll and Sutherlandshire Highlanders, and Captain W L Shearwood of the RAMC. The man in the front row, Mr Provis, is identified as the surgeon in charge of the hospital. The Northern Star and Southern Cross Hospital was established to provide care for wounded soldiers during the Great War. The officers and nursing staff, who worked tirelessly to heal and support the men, embodied the spirit of compassion and resilience that defined the war effort. This historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the medical personnel during World War I, and the crucial role they played in the care and recovery of wounded soldiers. The image is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the power of compassion in the face of adversity.
