EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1915-1916, we are transported back in time to the Royal Cornwall Infirmary in Truro, Cornwall during the tumultuous era of World War One. The image captures a group of nurses and other dedicated staff members posed proudly on the entrance steps of the infirmary. Their uniforms exude professionalism and compassion as they stand united against the backdrop of this historic institution. Each face tells a story - stories of resilience, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to healing those affected by war. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures not only their physical presence but also their spirit and determination amidst challenging circumstances. His lens freezes a moment that encapsulates both hope and uncertainty; a poignant reminder of the immense challenges faced by medical professionals during wartime. This photograph is an invaluable piece housed within the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, serving as a testament to Cornish bravery and dedication during one of history's darkest chapters. It stands as an enduring tribute to all those who selflessly served at Royal Cornwall Infirmary, offering solace to wounded soldiers far away from home. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, let us remember these unsung heroes whose tireless efforts brought comfort and care to countless lives affected by conflict. Their legacy lives on through this powerful snapshot frozen in time – forever etched into our collective memory.
