EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the First World War as King George V and Queen Mary make a visit to the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley, near Southampton. Expanded and used by the Red Cross during the conflict, the hospital became a vital center for the treatment of wounded soldiers from all over the world, including Australia. In this image, the royal couple are seen conversing with a line of wounded Australian soldiers, their expressions a mix of determination and exhaustion. The hospital grounds, dotted with tents and makeshift structures, provide a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war. The King and Queen, dressed in formal attire, stand out against the backdrop of the hospital, their presence a symbol of hope and support for the soldiers undergoing treatment. The scene is set against the beautiful Hampshire countryside, with the Solent estuary visible in the distance. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the human side of war, highlighting the bravery and resilience of the soldiers, as well as the compassion and dedication of the Red Cross and the British monarchy in caring for them during their time of need.
