Men at Yarrow Military Hospital
Men at Yarrow Military Hospital. These may be a mixture of staff and patients. None are wearing hospital blues though some have arm slings. Some have the RAMC badge on their arm. Sir Alfred Yarrow (1842-1932), shipbuilder and philanthropist, opened the home in c. 1895. In late 1914 the Committee of Management offered the Home to the military authorities as a military hospital, entirely staffed and paid for. This arrangement continued until c. August 1916 when the hospital was taken over by the Canadian military medical authorities. The building is now part of East Kent College, Broadstairs, Kent UK. Date: 1914

EDITORS COMMENTS
Men at Yarrow Military Hospital, Broadstairs, Kent, UK, 1914: A poignant image capturing the spirit of camaraderie and resilience during wartime, this photograph shows a diverse group of men at Yarrow Military Hospital. The men, a mixture of both staff and patients, display a range of injuries with some wearing arm slings and bearing the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) badge on their arms. Sir Alfred Yarrow, a renowned shipbuilder and philanthropist, had opened the home in approximately 1895 as a charitable institution. In late 1914, the Committee of Management generously offered the facility to military authorities to be used as a hospital, entirely staffed and funded by them. This arrangement continued until around August 1916 when the hospital was taken over by the Canadian military medical authorities. Today, the historic building stands as part of East Kent College in Broadstairs, Kent, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the compassionate spirit of those who provided care and support to the wounded soldiers.
