EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the Mill Hill Emergency Hospital during World War II. The servicemen and women of the ATS and WRENS, along with injured soldiers, find solace in the therapeutic environment created by Nurse Joan Simes. Known for her good profile, Nurse Joan graciously poses for clay modellers who are being taught craftwork as part of their occupational therapy at the hospital. The patients' faces reflect a mixture of determination and hope as they engage in this creative process. Through educational, diversional, and social benefits provided by such craftwork, these brave individuals inch closer towards recovery from their wounds sustained on the battlefield. It is March 16th, 1944; a time when art becomes an instrument of healing amidst conflict. McLelland's lens captures not only the physical act of modelling but also the emotional transformation taking place within each patient. Their resilience shines through as they channel their pain into something beautiful. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of war and adversity, humanity finds ways to nurture its spirit. It immortalizes a moment where wounded souls find solace through artistic expression—a testament to both human creativity and our unwavering will to heal.
