EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment during the Troubles in Crete, depicting the care of British wounded. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the aftermath of unrest and violence on the island. The scene unfolds at a landing area where HMS Hazard is stationed, serving as a makeshift hospital for injured soldiers. In this powerful snapshot, we witness a group of dedicated medical professionals tending to wounded seamen from various regiments including the Highland Light Infantry. The Royal Naval Hospital in Candia becomes their refuge as they receive treatment for their injuries sustained during the troubles. The composition exudes movement and agitation with blurred motion capturing both action and urgency. Amongst these brave individuals are Cretan locals who have also suffered amidst this turmoil. Their presence highlights not only solidarity but also emphasizes that conflict transcends borders. This image serves as an illustration for The Graphic newspaper published on October 8th, 1898, shedding light on the ongoing struggles faced by British forces stationed in Crete. It stands as a testament to both human resilience and compassion amidst chaos. Preserved within private collections today, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us of past conflicts while honoring those who selflessly cared for others during troubled times.
