The Ladder of Good Progress, First World War, c1914, (c1920) - A Glimpse into the Care of Wounded Soldiers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "The Ladder of Good Progress" offers a unique insight into the meticulous handling of wounded soldiers during the First World War. Created by an unknown artist and featured in Frank A Mumby's book "The Great World War - A History" this idealized diagram showcases the stages of medical treatment following a soldier's injury on the battlefield. With remarkable precision, it connects the chaos and turmoil experienced on Continental battlefields with the serenity found within British homeland care facilities. The visual representation illustrates each step in a soldier's recovery journey: from immediate first aid on field to seeking cover, transportation via ambulance wagon to dressing stations and clearing hospitals. As their condition stabilizes, they are moved further along this ladder of progress through ambulance trains, base hospitals, hospital ships, home hospitals, and finally convalescent homes. This image serves as a testament to the unparalleled level of attention given to wounded soldiers during this tumultuous time. It highlights not only advancements in medical science but also emphasizes propaganda efforts aimed at reassuring both soldiers and civilians that every effort was made for their well-being. Preserved by Heritage Images' collection from Keystone Archives under The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd. , London circa 1920s; this historical artifact provides us with invaluable insights into one aspect of life during World War I – demonstrating humanity's commitment to caring for those who sacrificed so much for their countries.
