EDITORS COMMENTS
A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Lady Sclater's War Hospital Supply Depot during World War I (1916) This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Lady Sclater's War Hospital Supply Depot, located at 18 Pont Street in London. Established in August 1915 by Lady Sclater, wife of Lieut.-General Sir H. Sclater, this voluntary organization provided essential garments and surgical requisites to war hospitals both at home and abroad. Lady Sclater's dedication and leadership were instrumental in the depot's success. Over a six-month period from January to June 1917, an impressive 19,813 women attended the workrooms, producing a remarkable 174,000 articles. These items ranged from life-saving waistcoats for men on mine-sweepers to hospital slippers, all meticulously made under Lady Sclater's supervision. The photograph offers a glimpse into the women's roles within this historic endeavor. Seated at their sewing machines, they diligently worked on bandages and swabs, while others packed and prepared the finished articles for dispatch. Their collective effort played a significant role in supporting the war effort on the home front. Lady Sclater's War Hospital Supply Depot stands as a testament to the incredible impact of women's voluntary work during World War I. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of their vital contributions and the spirit of unity and determination that defined this period in history.
