EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Southwark Military Hospital, Dulwich, South London: A Historical Snapshot of War Time Healthcare and Poverty Alleviation This evocative photograph captures the ward blocks of Southwark Military Hospital, located in Dulwich, South London. Established during the First World War, the hospital was initially housed in the St Saviour's workhouse infirmary. The building, designed by Henry Jarvis, was erected in 1887 on East Dulwich Grove, near Champion Hill station. During the late 1800s, the Victorian era workhouse system aimed to provide shelter, food, and medical care for the destitute and the poor. However, the living conditions were often inhumane, with overcrowding, poor sanitation, and inadequate healthcare. The St Saviour's workhouse infirmary was no exception, and its transformation into a military hospital during the First World War marked a significant improvement in the provision of medical care for both soldiers and civilians. The photograph, taken in 1915, shows the hospital's ward blocks, with soldiers walking on the pavement and railings lining the pathway. The military hospital continued to operate until 1921, when it was renamed Southwark Hospital and later became Dulwich Hospital. This image offers a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Southwark Military Hospital in the context of war time healthcare, poverty alleviation, and the transformation of a Victorian-era workhouse into a vital medical institution. The hospital's rich history reflects the evolving role of healthcare in addressing the needs of the community during times of crisis and change.
