In this print from the First World War, we are transported back to July 1917 in Couville, Manche, Lower Normandy, France. The image captures a poignant moment of compassion and care amidst the chaos of war. A nurse dressed in a blouse is delicately shaving a wounded soldier who lies in bed. French war wounds surround them as silent witnesses to their dedicated work. The nurse's face exudes both concentration and tenderness as she carries out her task with utmost precision. Her red cross armband symbolizes her role as a caregiver on the frontlines, providing much-needed medical assistance to those injured in battle. Despite the grim circumstances surrounding them, there is an undeniable sense of joy and camaraderie present in this scene. Laughter can be heard echoing through the military camp as these brave individuals find solace and strength within each other's company. This photograph serves as a testament to the tireless efforts made by women like this nurse during times of conflict.

As we gaze upon this powerful image captured over a century ago, it reminds us of the enduring spirit that emerges even amidst unimaginable adversity.
