At the Oldway Military Hospital in Paignton, Devon, 1915: A Gathering of Healing Hands and Noble Hearts This evocative photograph captures a moment of unity and determination during the tumultuous time of the First World War. The scene unfolds at the Oldway Military Hospital in Paignton, Devon, which was established to provide care and support for the wounded soldiers. The grand Oldway House, formerly known as Oldway Mansion, was the setting for this remarkable endeavor. Built by the renowned Singer family of sewing machine fame, the mansion was generously financed by the American Women's War Relief Fund, headed by Lady Randolph Churchill and the Duchess of Marlborough. The photograph showcases an assemblage of esteemed individuals, including Dr. FitzSimon, Mr. Paris Singer, Lady Randolph Churchill (chairman of the hospital committee), Dr. Howard W. Beal (chief surgeon), the Duchess of Marlborough (Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan), Sister Mabelle Welsh, and Dr. Leonard. The back row is filled with a mix of British and American nursing sisters, all dedicated to the noble cause of healing and compassion. The Oldway Military Hospital boasted an impressive capacity of 255 beds, and in November 1914, it was graced by the presence of Queen Mary. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of collaboration, resilience, and generosity that characterized the war efforts during this period. The gathering of these influential figures, along with the tireless work of the nursing staff, played a crucial role in providing care and comfort to the soldiers in their time of need.
