Escort Escorting Huts Nurse Nurses Nursing Rain Raining Treatment Umbrella Visiting
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the First World War as Queen Mary, the wife of King George V, makes a visit to a field hospital to offer support and comfort to wounded soldiers. Dressed in a raincoat and holding an umbrella, the Queen is escorted by a nurse through a muddy and rain-soaked camp, surrounded by officers in uniform and the makeshift huts that served as medical facilities. The image, taken between 1914 and 1918, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the crucial role played by both the military and medical personnel in caring for the injured. The Queen's visit would have provided a much-needed morale boost for the soldiers, many of whom were far from home and facing the harsh realities of the battlefield. The scene is one of resilience and determination in the face of adversity, with the Queen's presence symbolizing hope and solidarity for those undergoing treatment. This historical photograph is a powerful reminder of the human spirit and the enduring strength of those who served during the Great War.
