EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the heart of history, capturing a poignant moment in time. The image showcases the interior of a kitchen located within the secret wartime tunnels of Dover Castle in Kent during 1945. As we peer into this scene frozen in time, we witness dedicated members of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) diligently preparing a meal for hospital inmates. Their faces show determination and resilience amidst the chaos and uncertainty that war brings. The Annexe Level Underground Hospital was constructed between 1941-2 with the purpose of providing essential medical care to casualties during World War II. This underground sanctuary served as a vital medical dressing station throughout the war years and continued its service well into the 1950s. In this photograph, we can almost smell the aroma wafting from pots simmering on stoves, as RAMC cooks work tirelessly to nourish those who have suffered greatly due to conflict. It is a testament to their unwavering commitment and compassion towards their fellow soldiers. Preserved by Historic England Photo Library, this image serves as an important reminder of both our past struggles and our capacity for humanity even in times of adversity. It allows us to reflect upon those who selflessly cared for others amidst unimaginable circumstances – heroes whose stories deserve recognition and remembrance.
