Anglo Beds Dmitri Petrograd Wards
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of one of the wards in the Anglo-Russian Hospital located within the Dmitri Palace in Petrograd during World War I, in the year 1916. The Anglo-Russian Hospital was established to provide medical care to the wounded soldiers from both the British and Russian armies, reflecting the spirit of international cooperation during the war. The ward is filled with rows of simple wooden beds, each one occupied by a patient, some with bandaged heads or limbs, others with blankets pulled up to their chins. The atmosphere is one of quiet desperation, as medical staff attend to the needs of the patients, tending to their wounds and providing comfort in the face of great suffering. The hospital was housed in the historic Dmitri Palace, a grandiose building that once served as the residence of the Russian Tsars. Its opulent interiors, now transformed into makeshift medical facilities, serve as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of war and the resilience of those who endured it. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the hospital, providing a powerful testament to the courage and determination of the medical personnel and the patients who fought for their survival during those trying times.
