EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Queen Marie of Romania, nurturing the wounds of war-torn soldiers during the First World War. Born as Princess Marie Alexandra Victoria of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1875, she married the future King of Romania, Ferdinand I, in 1893. When Romania entered the war in 1916, Marie demonstrated her unwavering dedication to her people and her country by actively participating in the war effort. She established a nursing school in Bucharest and personally cared for the wounded soldiers, often working long hours in the hospitals and tending to the injured with her own hands. Dressed in a simple yet functional nurse's uniform, Marie's expression in this photograph exudes compassion and determination. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the royalty during the Great War, and the humanitarian efforts that were an integral part of the conflict. The photograph, taken in 1917, is a testament to Marie's unwavering commitment to her people and her role as a compassionate and caring monarch. Marie's involvement in nursing during the war was not only a personal endeavor but also a significant contribution to the Romanian war effort. Her actions inspired many other Romanian women to follow in her footsteps and join the nursing corps. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the resilience and compassion of the human spirit, even in the face of the devastation and loss brought about by the First World War.
