EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking studio photograph captures Hannah Powell-Cotton (1881-1964) in her uniform as Commandant of the Birchington Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) during World War I. The image, taken without her hat, showcases the intricate details of her jacket, which survives at Quex Park today (2015). The Birchington VAD Hospital, run by Kent/178, opened on 15 October 1914, and provided essential medical care to wounded soldiers until its closure on 31 January 1919. Hannah, the wife of Major Percy HG Powell-Cotton (1866-1940) of Quex Park, played a pivotal role in managing the hospital's operations. Percy, a renowned collector and founder of the Powell-Cotton Museum, supported his wife's efforts wholeheartedly. Dressed in her VAD uniform, Hannah exudes a sense of determination and dedication, reflecting the selfless commitment of the volunteers who served during this critical time in history. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the vital work carried out by the VAD during the First World War and the important role Hannah Powell-Cotton played in its success.
