Description:This photograph is listed in our photographic archive as showing a group of young ladies collecting for 'Hospital Saturday' during World War 1.
Hospital Saturday raised funds for local hospitals in the days before the NHS as many people were too poor to afford proper healthcare.
If you look closer each of the young women has a box with a cross and 'British Red Cross Society' printed on the top. It is proable that these are collection boxes for donations to the Red Cross who looked after the injured men during the First World War.
We cannot locate where this photograph was taken, there appears to be a graveyard in the background.
