EDITORS COMMENTS
Three Invalids, Truro, Cornwall. June 1918: A poignant snapshot from the heart of World War One captures the resilience and camaraderie amidst adversity. In this remarkable photo print, we witness two sailors and a young boy donning a soldier's uniform, all leaning on walking sticks for support. The location remains unknown but speculations point towards the serene grounds of the Royal Naval Auxiliary Hospital. The sailor wearing an H. M. S. Vivid cap hints at his affiliation with Devonport Dockyard's shorebase facility—a testament to his dedication to serving his country even in times of physical hardship. Their presence together signifies a bond forged through shared experiences and mutual understanding. Against a backdrop of lush Cornish hedges, these brave souls find solace amidst nature's embrace—a momentary respite from the horrors they have witnessed on distant battlefields. The photograph freezes time, capturing their strength as they navigate life post-war. Taken by Arthur William Jordan—an unsung hero himself—the image encapsulates both hope and sorrow within its frame. It serves as a reminder that war leaves indelible marks not only on landscapes but also on those who fought valiantly for peace. This historical relic now resides in the archives of Royal Cornwall Museum—preserving memories that echo through generations—honoring those who sacrificed so much during one of humanity's darkest chapters.
