EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a large group of the Queen Alexandria's Imperial Military Nursing Service (QAIMNS) sisters during their service in Egypt between 1940 and 1945. The image was taken at the iconic Sphinx of Giza, an ancient Egyptian monument that has stood the test of time, much like the dedication and resilience of these brave nurses. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, the QAIMNS sisters are seen gathered around the Sphinx, some sitting on the sandy ground, while others pose for the camera. The nurses, who served under the British Army during both World War I and II, were renowned for their vital role in providing medical care and treatment to soldiers on the front lines. Their presence in Egypt during this period was significant, as the country served as a major staging ground for the Allied forces in the Mediterranean Theatre of World War II. The photograph also features several camels and local guides, adding to the exotic and adventurous atmosphere of the scene. The nurses' interaction with the local culture and landscape highlights the global reach and diversity of the British military nursing service during this time. This image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the QAIMNS sisters, who played a crucial role in ensuring the wellbeing of soldiers during wartime. Their unwavering commitment to medical care and treatment, often in challenging and remote locations, underscores the importance of healthcare professionals in times of crisis. This photograph is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the nurses and the enduring legacy of the QAIMNS.
