EDITORS COMMENTS

This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a significant moment in history - the First World War. The image showcases the main facade of the Royal Cornwall Infirmary in Truro, Cornwall, during this tumultuous period. Standing proudly amidst the chaos and uncertainty, this hospital served as a beacon of hope for countless wounded soldiers. Intriguingly, at the entrance steps stands a solemn figure dressed entirely in black. Her presence exudes an air of mystery and perhaps hints at her role within this medical institution. Was she a nurse tending to those injured on the battlefield? Or could she be mourning loved ones lost to war? The photographer behind this poignant snapshot is believed to be Arthur Philp, although not confirmed definitively. His skillful composition captures both architectural grandeur and human emotion with equal finesse. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice and resilience during one of humanity's darkest chapters. It allows us to reflect on how communities like Cornwall rallied together during times of crisis, offering solace and care to those affected by conflict. This historical gem provides an invaluable glimpse into life on the home front during World War I – evoking emotions that transcend time itself.
