EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the No. 2 War Hospital in Reading, Berkshire, during the First World War. Located on Cranbury Road, the hospital was once the site of Battle School, a renowned institution for the education of the less fortunate. With the outbreak of war, the school was repurposed as a hospital to provide medical care for wounded soldiers. The image shows the interior of Ward A13, where staff and patients are seen working and resting. The far wall bears the school's motto, "Fight the Good Fight," a reminder of the institution's former identity and the spirit of resilience required during wartime. The parquet flooring and ornate fireplace add a sense of history and grandeur to the space, contrasting with the poverty and hardship experienced by many of the patients. The medical staff, dressed in their uniforms, are seen tending to the patients, who lie in their beds, some with bandages and splints. The atmosphere is one of quiet determination and hard work, with the staff focused on providing the best possible care in challenging conditions. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of a war hospital during the First World War, a time when the community came together to provide support and care for those in need. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this period and the enduring spirit of compassion and resilience that defined the war effort.
