EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the moment of respite and care in the midst of the harsh realities of war. Taken circa 1916-1917 in Salonika, Greece, during the First World War, the image shows a field hospital marquee filled with wounded British soldiers. The makeshift medical facility, set up under a large tent, is a testament to the efforts of the medical services to provide treatment and care to the injured soldiers. The scene is one of quiet determination and hope, with the soldiers lying on their beds, some with expressions of pain and exhaustion, while others manage a faint smile. The hospital staff can be seen attending to their patients, checking their wounds and administering treatment. The ropes and pegs securing the tent serve as a reminder of the temporary nature of the shelter, yet the sense of community and camaraderie among the soldiers is palpable. The field hospital at Salonika was one of many set up during the First World War to provide medical care to the wounded soldiers. Thessaloniki, now known as Thessaloniki, was a major Allied base during the war and saw heavy fighting between the Allied forces and the Central Powers. The hospital marquees provided a vital service, allowing the wounded to receive the medical attention they needed and giving them a chance to recover before being sent back to the front lines. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers during the First World War and the tireless efforts of the medical services to care for them. It also serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
