EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Dr. Edward H. Egbert, an American surgeon, standing proudly outside the Red Cross hospital building in Kiev, Russia during the tumultuous year of 1917. As the Chief Surgeon of the American Red Cross Hospital, Egbert played a crucial role in providing medical care to the wounded soldiers from various armies during the First World War. The image portrays a sense of determination and resilience as Egbert and his dedicated team of medical personnel, dressed in their distinctive Red Cross uniforms, gather around the hospital sign. The soldiers in uniform, some with bandaged heads and limbs, mill about in the background, a testament to the unrelenting nature of the war. The scene is set against a backdrop of Russian signs and buildings, hinting at the complex and multifaceted nature of the conflict. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the sacrifices made by medical personnel during wartime, and the vital role they play in caring for the injured and wounded, regardless of nationality or allegiance.
