Contemporary archives, 4-WA-022

This photograph, taken in July 1915, shows the benefactresses of Gouvieux hospital in the Oise region accompanying several French soldiers convalescing at the Château de Chantilly.

The group is posing in the Jardin de la Volière, on the steps leading to the Research Reading Room.

In 1915, and during the entire Great War, soldiers convalescing in hospitals in Chantilly and the surrounding areas found comfort in the pathways of the grounds and galleries of the château.
