EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this poignant print from 1943, we witness the resilience and care within the walls of the Henry Radcliffe Home for Merchant Seamen in Chart, Surrey. Jack Kelly, an engine room Donkey man on an oil tanker, finds himself recovering from injuries that have affected both his legs. A seasoned sailor who has braved the seas before the Mast, he now relies on the support of others to heal. In this heartwarming scene, assistant Nurse Mrs Hayden is captured reading to Jack as he rests in his bed. Her presence brings comfort and solace to a man whose body bears witness to the hardships endured during wartime. The image serves as a reminder of not only physical wounds but also emotional scars carried by those who served at sea. Set against the backdrop of World War Two's turmoil and conflict, this photograph encapsulates a moment of respite amidst chaos. It symbolizes the importance of convalescent homes like Henry Radcliffe in providing much-needed medical attention and healing spaces for merchant seamen. Preserved through time by Freddie Cole's lens, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into history while honoring those who dedicated their lives to serving their country during one of humanity's darkest periods.
