EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the dedication and resilience of a French Red Cross nurse during the French Campaign in Morocco in 1908. The image, taken at the Casablanca Hospital, portrays a woman in her late twenties, tirelessly working through a ten-hour shift. Dressed in her Red Cross uniform, complete with a starched white apron and a small cap adorned with the emblem of the Red Cross, she is intently focused on her patient. The hospital, established during the French colonial rule in Morocco, was a vital institution for providing medical care to the wounded soldiers and civilians involved in the military campaign. The harsh North African climate is evident in the dusty surroundings and the nurse's determined expression. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of a Red Cross nurse during this period, highlighting their crucial role in the provision of medical care and humanitarian aid during times of conflict. The French Campaign in Morocco marked a significant moment in the history of French colonialism in Africa, and this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the medical personnel during that time.
