The picture shows about 40 wounded soldiers, the matron, three nurses, and a red cross orderly. This suggests it represents a single 40 bed ward. The quality of the real photograph is such that it is possible to extract very recognisable individual portraits.
The picture was taken by Ricado Studios, London Road, St Albans, which is known to have taken other First World War photographs. This card is numbered 7481, and another patient photograph believed to be taken at Napsbury is numbered 8627A. |

Can you identify any individuals and/or the location?

 The location is unknown but is almost certainly a military hospital near St Albans - possibly Napsbury. The only clues in the picture is that the group is standing in front of a hedge with an iron fence/gateway and a thatched summer house or garden shed. Do you have an identified photograph of WW1 military patients taken in the same location? |
