Applying Behind Corps Lines Nurses Yeomanry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image, hailing from the early days of the First World War, depicts members of the Nurses Yeomanry Corps applying first aid to wounded soldiers behind the front line. Circa 1916, this poignant scene transports us back in time to an era of courage, resilience, and selflessness. The Nurses Yeomanry Corps, an auxiliary branch of the British Army, was formed in 1908 to provide nursing support during wartime. These dedicated women, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, were an integral part of the medical services during the First World War. In this photograph, we see them tending to the wounded soldiers with a sense of urgency and compassion. The lantern in the foreground casts a warm, comforting light on their faces, revealing their determination and focus. The soldiers, some with bandages on their heads or arms, lean in for treatment, trusting these brave women with their lives. The image is a poignant reminder of the crucial role these nurses played in the war effort, often working under difficult and dangerous conditions. The Nurses Yeomanry Corps, along with their male counterparts, made significant contributions to the medical services during the First World War, providing care and comfort to the wounded soldiers. This evocative photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bravery and dedication of the Nurses Yeomanry Corps during the First World War.
