Patients in A Ward at Quex Park VAD Hospital
Two patients in bed near the garden window in A Ward in the Drawing Room of Quex House. Alongside them stand two members of the Voluntary Aid Detachment. The man in the right hand bed has his right arm heavily bandaged and stretched out, held in place by an apparatus of wooden support and rope attached to the bed frame. Another patient is sitting reading in a chair to the right. Behind the beds can be seen hung up two boards, probably medical record cards. The Quex Park VAD Hospital opened on 15 October 1914 and closed on 31 January 1919. The hospital was run by Kent/178, the Birchington Detachment. The Commandant was Hannah Powell-Cotton (1881-1964), wife of Major Percy HG Powell-Cotton (1866-1940) of Quex Park, founder of the Powell-Cotton Museum. Date: 1918

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at Quex Park VAD Hospital in 1918. Two patients, both receiving care from members of the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD), are seen in the drawing room of Quex House. The man in the right-hand bed has his heavily bandaged right arm stretched out and held in place with an intricate apparatus of wooden supports and rope attached to the bed frame. The other patient sits comfortably in a chair, engrossed in a book, providing a stark contrast to the seriousness of the scene next to him. Quex Park VAD Hospital opened on 15 October 1914, during the First World War, and closed on 31 January 1919. It was run by Kent/178, the Birchington Detachment, under the command of Hannah Powell-Cotton, wife of Major Percy HG Powell-Cotton of Quex Park. The hospital was situated in the grand drawing room of the estate, which was transformed into a ward to accommodate the wounded soldiers. Behind the beds, two medical record cards are visible, hanging on the wall. The atmosphere in the room is calm and quiet, with the garden window letting in natural light, offering a glimpse of the peaceful outdoor surroundings. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave patients and dedicated VAD nurses during the war years.
