EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1945, deep within the historic Dover Castle in Kent. The image showcases the secret wartime tunnels that played a crucial role during World War II. Stepping into this underground labyrinth, we are transported to the Annexe Level Underground Hospital, a medical dressing station constructed between 1941 and 1942. In this particular scene frozen in time, we witness an intimate moment of compassion and camaraderie amidst the chaos of war. A group of Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) Orderlies engage in conversation with patients lying on their beds. Their uniforms bear witness to their dedication and service as they tend to wounded soldiers who have found solace within these walls. The significance of this photograph extends beyond its historical context; it serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's resilience even in times of great adversity. It is a testament to the unwavering spirit and determination displayed by both those providing care and those receiving it. Preserved by Historic England Photo Library, this image encapsulates not only military history but also captures the essence of people coming together during wartime. It invites us to reflect upon our shared past while honoring those who selflessly served their country.
