Red Cross nurse regulation uniform, WW1
The regulation dress of the Red Cross nurse at the beginning of the First World War. The dress is of dark blue zephyr, the apron of thick white linen with a red cross stitched on to the bib. A white cap and over sleeves to the elbow and a plain, stiff, white collar complete the costume. Note the narrow hemline at the ankle. Though exaggerated in this drawing, within a year, skirt circumferences would increase dramatically to help ease of movement. Date: 1914

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of a Red Cross nurse's uniform at the onset of the First World War. The dark blue zephyr fabric of the dress provides a striking contrast to the thick, white linen apron adorned with a bold, stitched red cross on the bib. Completing the costume are a white cap, over sleeves extending to the elbow, and a plain, stiff, white collar. The hemline of the narrow skirt is visible at the ankle, though it would become more generous in circumference within a year to facilitate greater ease of movement for the nurses. This historical photograph, dated 1914, offers a glimpse into the past when women answered the call to serve their countries as dedicated and compassionate caregivers during the tumultuous and challenging times of the First World War. The Red Cross nurses, with their distinctive uniforms, became symbols of hope and healing amidst the chaos of the battlefield. This image is an essential piece of history, preserving the memory of the courageous women who donned these uniforms and dedicated themselves to the welfare of wounded soldiers.
