EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at the Reading Union Workhouse on Oxford Road in Reading, Berkshire, during the First World War. The historic building, which had opened in 1867 as a workhouse for the poor, was repurposed as a military hospital in 1917. In this image, a group of convalescing soldiers, including one black soldier, stand at the hospital entrance, their uniforms adorned with various insignia and bandages. A British soldier, on gate duty, stands to the left, his arm slung in a sling. The archway of the hospital's entrance, with its ornate brickwork and historical crest, looms in the background. A group of women, one pushing a pram, pass by on the right, adding a sense of normalcy to the scene amidst the chaos of war. The hospital drive, lined with trees, is slowly making its way towards the archway, leading deeper into the hospital grounds. The brickwork and archway of the hospital exude a sense of history and grandeur, contrasting with the raw reality of the wounded soldiers and the women's simple attire. The scene is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the importance of care and healing for those who were wounded in the line of duty.
