American nurses in London is the subject here, a group of women in nursing uniforms photographed in the English capital, probably during the First World War, when American volunteers served with British hospitals and the Red Cross. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, a body of glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, a New York press photo agency that sent pictures to newspapers across the country. The record gives no firm date or photographer, and the title comes from caption cards that were not verified, so the details of this particular scene should be read with that uncertainty in mind.
