EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and compassion that defined the Scottish Women's Hospitals (SWH) during World War I. The image shows two paper flags, carefully folded and ready for sale, which were used to raise essential funds for the organization. The Scottish Women's Hospitals were founded in 1914 by Dr. Elsie Inglis, a trailblazing Scottish doctor and suffragist, who was a member of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. Dr. Inglis and her team of volunteer nurses and doctors provided medical care to soldiers and civilians on the front lines in countries such as Serbia, Russia, Salonica, and Macedonia. The SWH was one of the first organizations to offer medical assistance to wounded soldiers in Serbia, and its efforts were crucial in helping to save countless lives during the war. The sale of these paper flags was just one of the many ways that the Scottish Women's Hospitals raised funds to support their mission. The flags, adorned with the organization's emblem, were sold to the public, who were eager to contribute to the cause. The proceeds from the sales went directly towards purchasing medical supplies, equipment, and provisions for the hospitals. The photograph, taken circa 1916, is a poignant reminder of the incredible work that the Scottish Women's Hospitals carried out during the First World War. It is a testament to the courage and commitment of Dr. Elsie Inglis and her team, who put their lives on the line to provide medical care to those in need, regardless of nationality or social status. The legacy of the Scottish Women's Hospitals continues to inspire us today, and their story serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of compassion and determination in times of crisis.
