EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the rear entrance to No. 1 War Hospital in Reading, Berkshire, during the First World War. The imposing building, which once served as the Reading Union Workhouse on Oxford Road, has been repurposed to provide vital medical care for the wounded soldiers returning from the battlefields. The image shows several uniformed soldiers, one of whom is using crutches, making their way into the hospital. The Guardians boardroom, now a secondary entrance, can be seen on the right-hand side of the photograph. Parked vehicles line the driveway to the left, suggesting the steady stream of patients being transported to the hospital for treatment. The historic workhouse, which dates back to the 19th century, later became known as Battle Hospital, providing essential care for the injured and disabled soldiers during their recovery from poverty and the physical and emotional scars of war. This poignant photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women during this pivotal period in history.
