EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Historic England Archive takes us back to the year 1940, amidst the chaos of World War II. The image showcases a crucial aspect of healthcare during that time - the blood supply at Army Blood Supply Depot in Southmead Hospital, Bristol. In this snapshot, two dedicated men can be seen diligently transferring blood from small donation bottles into large glass Winchester bottles. This process is known as plasma transfusion and was vital for saving countless lives on the battlefield. The photograph beautifully captures the pooling of blood returned to the depot after being obtained throughout the day by diligent blood transfusion teams. During this tumultuous period, an astonishing 300 to 350 pints of blood were collected daily. However, it was during the night when abstraction of plasma took place - a meticulous task carried out under dimmed lights and unwavering commitment. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of selflessness and resilience exhibited by those involved in providing medical care during wartime. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's ability to come together even in times of great adversity. Through this remarkable photograph, we are granted a glimpse into an era where every drop counted and where heroes worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure that life-saving resources reached those who needed them most.
