EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Underwood & Underwood in 1901, takes us back to the Ward in General Hospital No 10, formerly Greys College in Bloemfontein, South Africa. The image depicts a scene of recuperation and healing amidst the casualties of the Boer War. In this converted military hospital ward, we see wounded soldiers from Britain and other countries recovering under the care of dedicated nurses. The room is filled with beds occupied by both men and women who have sacrificed their health for their country's cause. The composition showcases the Victorian era's commitment to healthcare and education as we spot a female nurse attending to a patient while others rest on their beds. The monochrome tones add depth to this historical moment frozen in time. Grey College, once an esteemed public school for boys, now serves as a place where science meets medicine during wartime. This photograph not only captures the physical wounds endured but also represents resilience and hope within these walls. As we observe this snapshot from over a century ago, it reminds us of the sacrifices made during times of conflict. It pays tribute to those who fought bravely on foreign soil while highlighting humanity's ability to heal even amidst chaos.
