1st Southern Military Hospital, Stourbridge: A Symbol of Care and Resilience During World War I This evocative photograph captures the 1st Southern Military Hospital in Stourbridge, Kingswinford, during its occupation as a military hospital during World War I. The main buildings of the Stourbridge Union Workhouse can be seen in the background, a stark reminder of the hospital's previous role in providing for the local community. The transformation of this workhouse into a military hospital was a testament to the adaptability and resourcefulness of the British people during wartime. The 1st Southern General Hospital became an essential part of the military medical network, providing care and treatment to wounded soldiers from the Western Front. The image, taken circa 1917, shows the infirmary, which was the primary building used for patient care. The hospital's grounds were expanded to accommodate the influx of patients, with additional tents and structures erected to provide shelter and comfort. The soldiers, many of whom were suffering from severe injuries, received the best care possible under the circumstances. Nurses and medical staff worked tirelessly to provide treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation to help the soldiers recover and return to the front line or, if possible, return to their homes. The 1st Southern Military Hospital in Stourbridge played a crucial role in the war effort, providing essential medical care to thousands of soldiers during the conflict. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the British people during World War I and the important role that community resources, such as workhouses, could play in times of crisis.
