EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history during the First World War. In February 1916, amidst the tranquil gardens of Great Dixter in Northiam, East Sussex, wounded soldiers and dedicated nurses from the Red Cross gather alongside members of the Lloyd family. The garden serves as a sanctuary for these brave individuals who are on their path to recovery. Great Dixter itself is a remarkable 15th-century timber-framed hall-house that was meticulously restored by Sir Edwin Lutyens under the ownership of Nathaniel Lloyd, renowned author of 'The History of the English House'. However, during this tumultuous time in history, part of this historic house was transformed into a hospital for injured soldiers. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an inspiring display of resilience and compassion. The soldiers find solace within nature's embrace while being cared for by devoted nurses who tend to their physical and emotional wounds. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, humanity can still find moments of peace and healing. This image not only commemorates those who sacrificed themselves during World War I but also pays tribute to the tireless efforts made by healthcare professionals who provided comfort and support to those in need. It stands as an enduring testament to courage, hope, and unity during one of history's darkest chapters.
