EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 20th century, amidst the chaos of war. The image showcases the open-air ward in Military Hospital BL23135, located within the magnificent Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire. It offers a poignant glimpse into a time when nurses and injured soldiers shared this space, united by their experiences on the battlefield. The photograph captures a moment of respite as nurses tend to wounded soldiers under the watchful eye of Dame Mary Russell, Duchess of Bedford. Open-air treatment was an innovative approach used during World War I to combat infections and heal wounds more effectively. This unique method allowed fresh air to circulate around patients, aiding their recovery. Bedford Lemere and Co skillfully captured this scene in July 1915, immortalizing both the bravery of those who fought for our freedom and Dame Mary's noble efforts in converting part of Woburn Abbey into a military hospital. Their expertise shines through as they expertly frame each figure against the backdrop of this historic location. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, it serves as a reminder not only of our past but also of how far medical advancements have come since then. It is an enduring testament to humanity's resilience in times of adversity and pays tribute to all those who selflessly cared for others during wartime.
