EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a somber scene from the British Field Hospital after a grueling battle at the Modder in South Africa, around February 13,1900. The image showcases a poignant moment of war as a badly wounded soldier is carefully placed onto a stretcher before being transported away in a wagon. During this time period, British medical facilities in South Africa had significantly improved compared to previous campaigns. In order to effectively deal with casualties, an extensive network was established including 28 field ambulances, five stationary hospitals, and 16 general hospitals. The photograph is part of a collection titled "South African War through the Stereoscope Pt 2 Vol 1" consisting of stereoscopic cards published by Underwood & Underwood and produced by Works and Sun Sculpture Studios around 1900. This particular image serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war during this tumultuous period. Displayed at the National Army Museum in London, this historical artifact offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by soldiers who fought bravely for their respective nations. It stands as both an important record of history and a testament to the resilience and dedication exhibited by those involved in conflicts such as the Boer War.
