EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Military Hospital in Abassieh, Egypt during the tumultuous Mahdist War, which raged from 1881 to 1898 between the Sudanese Mahdist state and various foreign forces, including those of Britain and Egypt. The image shows the dedicated staff of the ward, tending to the wounded soldiers with unwavering compassion and care. The English sisters, identifiable by their religious habits and the crosses on their chests, work alongside Egyptian and British medical personnel to provide essential medical assistance. The soldiers, some with bandaged wounds and others in various stages of recovery, gaze intently at their attendants, a testament to the trust and hope placed in their hands. The Sisters of Mercy, an order of Roman Catholic sisters, were known for their extensive work in healthcare and education, and their presence in this military hospital during the Mahdist War reflects their commitment to serving those in need, regardless of the circumstances. The photograph, taken in 1885, offers a poignant glimpse into the humanitarian efforts during a time of conflict and the resilience of those who provided care and comfort to the wounded soldiers.
