A photograph of Queen Mary speaking to a patient at the Canadian Red Cross Hospital, at Cliveden near Taplow in Berkshire, accompanied by a nurse. The man's face is partially covered to hide his wounds, and is lying in bed placed outside, to aid his recovery. There are initials and date on the far left, 'JH, 1917', probably the initials of the photographer who may have been a patient or member of staff.
In 1914 the Astor family invited the Canadian Red Cross to built a military hospital on the estate and it was named after the Duchess of Connaught who had served Viceregal consort of Canada from 1911 to 1916.Provenance
From an album of photographs collated and arranged by Queen Mary (1867-1953)
