EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance to Orchard Convalescent Hospital at Long Reach, near Dartford, during its deployment as a military hospital for overseas troops during the First World War. Originally opened by the Metropolitan Asylums Board in 1902 as temporary accommodation for a smallpox epidemic, the hospital was later repurposed to care for wounded soldiers from far-off lands, primarily Australians. The scene is set in circa 1916, with a thick blanket of snow covering the ground, adding to the somber and otherworldly atmosphere. Soldiers, bundled up against the cold, can be seen standing at attention, their weary expressions hinting at the hardships they have endured. The hospital staff, dressed in their uniforms, attend to the soldiers with compassion and care, providing a glimmer of hope and comfort amidst the chaos of war. This poignant image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and medical personnel during the First World War, and the vital role that hospitals like Orchard played in their recovery and eventual return to their homes and families.
