EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Orchard Convalescent Hospital at Long Reach, near Dartford, Kent, during its deployment as a military hospital for overseas troops, primarily Australians, during the First World War. Opened by the Metropolitan Asylums Board in 1902 as temporary accommodation during a smallpox epidemic, the hospital later served as a vital medical facility for wounded soldiers. The Edwardian-era building, with its red-tiled roof and whitewashed walls, stands proudly amidst the lush greenery, while uniformed soldiers can be seen lining up outside, their weary expressions reflecting the hardships of war. The hospital's history is further evidenced by the remnants of its small tramway, whose rails can be seen snaking through the grounds.
