EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history during the Normandy landings of 1944, as members of the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Nursing Service (Q.A.I.N.S) make their way to their station in the newly established bridgehead. The image shows a truck filled to capacity with nursing officers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, ready to provide essential medical care to the wounded soldiers on the front lines. The arrival of these dedicated nurses was a crucial development in the Allied advance, as they played a vital role in the treatment and recovery of the injured during the intense battles that followed the D-Day invasion. This photograph, titled "Q.A.I.N.S In Normandy," is part of a collection of 37 British Official photographs, which document the preparations for and liberation of North West Europe during World War II. The photograph, with the reference number B 5679 (XS), is dated 1944 and is protected by Crown Copyright. The original typescript caption is mounted on card, providing historical context to this poignant and significant image.
