EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a fleet of ambulances parked outside the historic Abbaye de Royaumont in France, the site where the Scottish Women's Hospitals (SWH) established their first unit in 1914. The SWH was a remarkable organization that provided medical care to wounded soldiers during the First World War, with a particular focus on women's health. In this image, we see the ambulances ready to transport the injured, emblazoned with the Scottish flag and the emblem of the French Red Cross. The SWH was founded by a group of Scottish women, many of whom were also active in the suffrage and suffragette movement, fighting for women's rights and female emancipation. The struggle for women's suffrage and the horrors of war intersected during this period, as women sought to prove their worth and capabilities in the face of adversity. The SWH's work in France was a testament to their determination and commitment to making a difference in the world. The Abbaye de Royaumont, a beautiful and historic monastery, served as an ideal base for the hospital unit. Its serene surroundings contrasted sharply with the chaos and destruction of the battlefields, providing a sanctuary for the wounded and the dedicated medical staff. The image of the ambulances outside the abbey is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these women during a time of great upheaval and change. This photograph is a powerful representation of the intersection of women's rights, social activism, and humanitarian efforts during the early 20th century. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of the women who worked tirelessly to make a difference in the world, both on the home front and in the midst of war.
