EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Royal Naval Hospital in St Clement, Truro, Cornwall during the tumultuous era of World War One. The image captures a poignant moment, most likely on the 18th of January 1916, when this esteemed hospital was inaugurated. Eight Red Cross nurses stand proudly on a ladder, their uniforms pristine and their dedication palpable. The composition is strikingly framed by an impressive building with large windows that allow sunlight to filter through onto the lawn below. The immaculately manicured grounds provide a serene backdrop for these courageous women who selflessly served their country during one of history's darkest periods. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has masterfully captured not only the physical beauty of this scene but also its historical significance. This photograph stands as a testament to the resilience and bravery displayed by these nurses amidst chaos and uncertainty. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals throughout World War One. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of great adversity, humanity can rise above it all with compassion and unwavering determination. This remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back to an era long gone but never forgotten – where heroism flourished against all odds within those hallowed walls.
