EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the First World War as Queen Mary, consort to King George V, pays a visit to convalescent soldiers at a military hospital. Dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit and wearing a stylish hat adorned with a feather, Queen Mary exudes a sense of compassion and care as she inspects the medical facilities and interacts with the recovering soldiers. Surrounded by a sea of uniformed men, some wearing caps on their beds, the Queen's presence brings a glimmer of hope and morale-boosting cheer to the otherwise somber and sterile environment. Nurses, dressed in their white uniforms, attend to the soldiers, ensuring they receive the best possible care. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers during the war and the important role of the monarchy in providing support and comfort to those in need. This photograph, taken from The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit during times of adversity.
