EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the heart of Dover Castle's secret wartime tunnels in 1945. Stepping into the frame, we find ourselves immersed in history as we witness a crucial moment within these underground corridors. The image showcases the Annexe Level Underground Hospital, a vital medical dressing station constructed during World War II. Its purpose was to provide immediate care for casualties, offering solace and healing amidst the chaos of war. The hospital continued its noble service well into the 1950s. In this particular scene, Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) Orderlies can be seen carefully wheeling a stretcher-case along a dimly lit corridor. Their determined expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to saving lives and providing comfort to those wounded by conflict. The photograph exudes an air of solemnity and resilience, capturing both the physical challenges faced by medical personnel during wartime and their unyielding dedication to their duty. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who selflessly served on the frontlines. Preserved through time, this powerful image from Historic England Photo Library allows us to reflect upon our shared history while honoring those who valiantly fought for peace during one of humanity's darkest periods.
