Bourbourg 1915 - A Glimpse into the Heroic Efforts of Duchess Millicent and Her Field Hospital
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Bourbourg 1915" offers a poignant glimpse into an extraordinary chapter of World War I history. Captured by Victor Francois Tardieu, this image measures 21.6x27.3 cm and belongs to a private collection. The photograph is part of a series that documents the remarkable tented field hospital established and operated by Millicent, Duchess of Sutherland during the summer months of 1915 in Bourbourg, just twelve miles southwest of Dunkirk. The scene portrays soldiers wounded in battle alongside dedicated female nurses attending to their needs with unwavering compassion. In this powerful composition, we witness the tireless efforts of these brave women as they tend to patients' injuries and provide much-needed medical treatment amidst the chaos of war. The presence of male nurses further emphasizes the collaborative nature of their work. The carefully arranged beds and furnishings within the tent reflect both practicality and care for patient comfort—a testament to Duchess Millicent's commitment to providing quality healthcare under challenging circumstances. Through Tardieu's artistry, we are transported back in time—to an era when ordinary individuals displayed extraordinary courage on a daily basis. This evocative image serves as a reminder not only of the sacrifices made during World War I but also celebrates those unsung heroes who selflessly dedicated themselves to healing others amid unimaginable
