EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment outside the Royal Cornwall Infirmary in Truro, Cornwall during the years 1915-1916. The image showcases a large group of nurses and patients gathered at the entrance of the hospital, providing us with a glimpse into their lives during the tumultuous times of World War I. In this historic snapshot, we see Matron seated prominently at the center front, exuding an air of authority and compassion. Her presence symbolizes strength and dedication as she oversees the care being provided to those in need. Beside her stands a man dressed in civilian attire, perhaps representing an administrator or official associated with the hospital. The composition is filled with faces that tell countless stories - brave soldiers who have endured unimaginable hardships on distant battlefields, alongside dedicated nurses who tirelessly tend to their wounds and offer solace amidst chaos. Their expressions reveal resilience mixed with weariness; hope mingled with sorrow. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has skillfully captured this significant moment in time when communities rallied together to support one another through adversity. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of both individual sacrifice and collective strength during wartime. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this remarkable print offers us an invaluable window into history – reminding us not only of our shared past but also honoring those who selflessly served others during one of humanity's darkest chapters.
