EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the North Evington War Hospital in Leicestershire during the First World War. Originally opened in 1905 as the Leicester Union Infirmary, this institution played a crucial role in providing medical care to the wounded and sick during the Great War. As the conflict raged on, the infirmary was repurposed for military use, transforming into a bustling war hospital. The red cross emblem proudly displayed on the buildings is a testament to the humanitarian efforts taking place within. The Edwardian architecture, with its grandiose facade and intricate details, stands in stark contrast to the poverty and hardship that many soldiers endured both on the battlefield and during their recovery. The buildings at North Evington were a symbol of hope and healing during a time of great turmoil. The 1910s saw an unprecedented demand for medical care, as the war claimed countless lives and left many more with debilitating injuries. The hospital's staff, made up of dedicated doctors, nurses, and volunteers, worked tirelessly to provide the best possible care for their patients. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of North Evington War Hospital, a place where the poor, the sick, and the wounded were given a chance to recover and return to their communities. The buildings, now part of Leicester General Hospital, continue to serve the people of Leicestershire, standing as a testament to the resilience and compassion of those who worked and were treated there during the dark days of the First World War.
