The nurses, dressed in their uniforms, are attending to their needs with compassion and care. The main workhouse buildings can be seen in the background, a reminder of the institution's previous role as a place of relief for the destitute. The hospital's occupation by the military was a significant contribution to the war effort, providing essential medical care to the wounded soldiers.
