1940s Nurse Peacetime Repatriation
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection, held at the West Sussex Record Office, takes us back to August 1946. The image showcases a half-length portrait of a remarkable lady adorned in her Polish Red Cross uniform. Her dignified presence and confident gaze reflect the strength and resilience of those who dedicated their lives to providing aid during peacetime. The photograph captures an important moment in history - the repatriation efforts following World War II. As a nurse representing the Polish Red Cross, this woman played an instrumental role in helping displaced individuals return home and rebuild their lives after years of turmoil. Beyond its historical significance, this snapshot also offers glimpses into fashion trends of the era. The lady's hairstyle exudes elegance with its carefully styled waves, reflecting both practicality and style amidst her demanding profession. Preserved by West Sussex County Council, this print serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's capacity for compassion even amid times of great adversity. It honors not only the brave individuals like our subject but also countless others who selflessly devoted themselves to aiding those affected by war
