The Duchess of Westminster with nurses, Le Touquet, First World War, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the early 20th century, we are transported back to the tumultuous years of the First World War. The image showcases British peeress and socialite Constance Edwina Lewis (1875-1970), famously known as the Duchess of Westminster, alongside a group of dedicated nurses at her military hospital in Le Touquet. The scene exudes both strength and compassion as these brave women stand united in their mission to care for wounded soldiers. The Duchess herself stands tall on the right side of the frame, accompanied by her beloved dog - a symbol of loyalty amidst chaos. This remarkable photograph captures a moment frozen in time - an intimate glimpse into a chapter of history where women played an instrumental role in providing medical aid during times of war. Their selflessness and unwavering commitment shine through their determined expressions. The hospital itself was housed within a local casino - an unlikely setting transformed into a sanctuary for healing. It is evident that under the guidance and sponsorship of the Duchess, this facility became not just a place for physical recovery but also one filled with warmth and compassion. As we reflect upon this poignant image, it serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness and destruction, there are always individuals who rise above adversity to bring hope and solace to those most in need.
