Operation Room, Woolwich School Treatment Centre, London, 1914: A Glimpse into Medical Care during World War I". This photograph captures a poignant moment in medical history at the Woolwich School Treatment Centre in London, 1914. In this image, we witness a doctor, anaesthetist, and nurse diligently attending to a young child with a gag in their mouth. The atmosphere is filled with focused determination as they prepare for an operation. The scene is set meticulously; the instrument table stands ready for use while a kettle on the fire provides hot water for sterilization purposes. The dedication of these healthcare professionals is evident as they work together to ensure the best possible care for their patient. Taken during the early years of the 20th century amidst global conflict, this photograph offers us insight into how medical science was advancing even under challenging circumstances. It serves as a testament to the resilience and commitment of those working tirelessly within our healthcare system. Preserved by Guildhall Library Art Gallery and not intended for commercial use, this image reminds us of the invaluable role that education plays in shaping skilled professionals who dedicate themselves to saving lives. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, let us appreciate both the progress made since then and honor those who have dedicated their lives to healing others.
