One of the twins died in 1902, after being separated.

And one lived...wow.

I wonder why they refer to them by their religion, Hinduism, rather than by their nationality? Should children this young really be considered of a certain religion when they are not old enough to have experienced or read about any other religion? I think not.

Looks more like a dissection than a surgery.
Anybody wash their hands then?

The 2nd sister died about a year after the first, also of tuberculosis.

Thank you for posting the images from the the Grace Waters fonds, particularly those by E. R. Owens. Some very candid photos of hospital life during WWI.

A number of them are of the photos are of the No. 15 Canadian General Hospital in Clivedon, though are referred to by various names in the photo descriptions.

I was researching a nursing sister who died there at the end of WWI, so had to bone up on my military hospital history and thought I would pass on this additional information about the “Clivedon hospital” for others. (The source information is below):
