EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a moment of respite and camaraderie among three Belgian hospital patients at Quex Park in 1914. The man on the left, identified as Sgt. Emile Verheyen from Ghent, holds a cherished letter or photograph, while his companions intently study its contents. The trio sits on a grassy bank in the hospital's garden, surrounded by the beauty of nature. Quex Park VAD Hospital, run by Kent/178, the Birchington Detachment, opened its doors on October 15, 1914, providing care to wounded soldiers and civilians during World War I. The hospital was commanded by Hannah Powell-Cotton, wife of Major Percy HG Powell-Cotton, the founder of the Powell-Cotton Museum and a prominent figure in the area. The hospital remained operational until its closure on January 31, 1919. Sgt. Verheyen, a patient between November 14, 1914, and March 29, 1915, met and married a Belgian girl in Ramsgate in 1916. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these brave individuals, who found solace and support amidst the hardships of war. The image stands as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find hope and connection, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
