EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historical photograph, we are transported back to the tumultuous times of World War I. The image showcases a group of dedicated women from the British Womens Volunteer Reserve, standing proudly at the entrance of a hospital. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, they exude strength and determination. This particular moment captures an essential aspect of their service - a practice fire drill and evacuation exercise. With utmost care and precision, these brave volunteers carry elderly patients on stretchers, ensuring their safety amidst chaos. Their commitment to protecting lives shines through as they work together seamlessly. The grand facade of the hospital serves as a backdrop for this remarkable scene. It symbolizes both hope and resilience during one of history's darkest periods. A large group of people can be seen gathered outside, witnessing firsthand the dedication and selflessness exhibited by these extraordinary women. Looking closely at each detail within this print evokes admiration for those who came before us - offering a helping hand when it was most needed. These courageous female nurses exemplify the true spirit of healthcare and medicine during wartime. As we reflect upon this powerful image today, let us remember these unsung heroes whose contributions played an integral role in shaping our world's history.
