EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of Benyon Ward in the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, circa 1915. The ward is filled with a sense of hope and healing as four dedicated nurses attend to the needs of several convalescing servicemen. The nurses, dressed in their traditional uniforms, stand at attention, ready to administer medicine or offer words of encouragement. Some servicemen are seated at the edge of their beds, while others lie in restful repose. The nurses' station, with its array of medical supplies and equipment, stands at the center of the room, a testament to the tireless work being done to ensure the wellbeing of these brave men. A beautiful floral display adds a touch of color and cheer to the otherwise sterile environment. The atmosphere is one of care, compassion, and the unwavering commitment to the health and recovery of each patient. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the vital role that nurses and healthcare professionals have played in the treatment and care of those in need, particularly during times of war and national service.
