EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the bustling kitchen of St Andrews Hospital in Dollis Hill, London. Three dedicated female staff members are seen diligently working amidst an array of pots, pans, and utensils. The hospital itself was established by the Diocese of Westminster in 1912 to cater primarily to paying patients from the Roman Catholic Church and French Catholics. However, with the outbreak of World War I in 1914, St Andrews Hospital transformed into a military facility, providing care for wounded soldiers. Among its earliest patients were brave Belgian soldiers seeking refuge and medical attention. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the hospital's transition during this tumultuous time. The women depicted here play an essential role in supporting the war effort through their tireless work within the hospital's kitchen. Their dedication ensures that both patients and staff are nourished adequately during their convalescence period. As part of their rehabilitation process, these workers contribute significantly to creating a sense of home front comfort within the hospital walls. Photographed by Adolph Augustus Boucher in 1914 on behalf of Bedford Lemere & Co. , this historical snapshot offers us a rare glimpse into life on the home front during World War I. It showcases not only the resilience and adaptability displayed by institutions like St Andrews Hospital but also highlights how women played an integral role in supporting healthcare services during times of crisis.
