EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a significant moment in history - the 16th of June, 1915. The image captures wounded soldiers gathered outside Truro Railway Station in Cornwall during World War One. As they await transportation to the Royal Cornwall Infirmary, their expressions reveal a mix of weariness and hope. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan, this poignant snapshot offers a glimpse into the realities faced by those affected by war. The soldiers are seated in an open car, their bandaged limbs and tired faces bearing witness to the sacrifices made on the battlefield. Their presence at Truro Railway Station signifies both resilience and vulnerability as they embark on a journey towards healing. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its Cornish connection. It serves as a reminder that even amidst global conflicts, local communities played vital roles in supporting those who fought for their country's cause. As we reflect upon this image today, let us remember the courage displayed by these wounded soldiers and honor their sacrifice. May it serve as a testament to our collective duty to support those impacted by war and strive for peace worldwide.
