EDITORS COMMENTS
A Bad Case Sister - Wounded Fusilier after Boer raid near Orange River, S. Africa. 1899 circa (b/w photo) captures a poignant moment during the Boer War in South Africa. In this powerful image, we witness the aftermath of a devastating raid as stretcher bearers carefully transport a wounded British soldier under the watchful eyes of medical staff. The photograph showcases the dedication and professionalism of nurses and stretcher bearers who risked their lives to provide crucial care on the battlefield. The 'Bad Case Sisters, ' as they were affectionately known, played an instrumental role in saving countless lives during this tumultuous period. British medical facilities had significantly improved since previous campaigns, evident in the establishment of numerous field ambulances, stationary hospitals, and general hospitals specifically designed to handle casualties. This development allowed for more effective treatment and transportation of injured soldiers. Published by Underwood & Underwood in 1900 circa as part of their series on the South African War through Stereoscope Pt 2 Vol 1, this stereoscopic photograph offers viewers a three-dimensional glimpse into history. The black-and-white composition adds depth to the scene while emphasizing the gravity of war's consequences. This print serves as a reminder not only of human resilience but also our collective responsibility to ensure proper healthcare for those affected by conflict. It stands as a testament to both bravery on the frontlines and advancements made in medicine during times of crisis.
