EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, a group of seven nurses from Battle Hospital in Reading take a playful break from their duties, climbing a tree together in their uniforms. Circa 1935, this image captures the spirit of camaraderie and lightheartedness among these dedicated healthcare professionals. The tree, with its lush green leaves, provides a stark contrast to the crisp, white uniforms and nursing caps worn by the women. The nurses, all off duty, seem to be enjoying each other's company and the simple pleasure of spending time in nature. Their laughter and joy are palpable, reminding us that even in the most challenging of circumstances, it's essential to take a moment to unwind and connect with one another. The National Health Service (NHS) was established in the UK in 1948, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of nurses during the years leading up to its creation. The nurses in this image were likely part of the National Service, a requirement for women to serve in various fields, including healthcare, during World War II. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and dedication of nurses, who have always been at the forefront of providing care and treatment to those in need. Their commitment to the wellbeing of their patients, as well as their own health and wellbeing, is evident in this delightful scene. As we admire this image, we are reminded of the importance of taking care of ourselves and those around us, even in the midst of challenging times. The nurses in this photograph serve as an inspiration for the countless healthcare professionals who continue to provide essential services to their communities today.
