EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a lighthearted moment in the gardens of Quex House during the First World War. Four patients, dressed in hospital garb, enthusiastically participate in a race, their determined expressions reflecting their spirit of competition. Two nurses and a civilian lady watch from the background, their concerned yet amused expressions adding to the scene's charm. A man in a tailcoat and holding a rifle stands to the right, observing the race with a thoughtful expression. The gardens of Quex House served as a welcome respite for patients of the nearby Quex Park VAD Hospital. Established on October 15, 1914, and closing on January 31, 1919, the hospital was run by the Birchington Detachment of Kent/178. The Commandant was Hannah Powell-Cotton, wife of Major Percy HG Powell-Cotton, founder of the Powell-Cotton Museum. The gardens offered valuable opportunities for relaxation, games, and diversions, providing a much-needed break from the harsh realities of wartime life. This photograph captures the essence of these moments, showcasing the resilience and determination of the patients, as well as the compassionate care provided by the hospital staff.
