Bedmaking race, Quex House garden

Three nurses are taking part in a bedmaking race, watched by Hannah Powell-Cotton (VAD Commandant) and a male civilian. The beds are positioned against the line of a tennis court marked out on the lawn. The nurses are wearing the small cap and have the Red Cross on their aprons. The gardens of Quex House offered valuable opportunities for relaxation, games and diversions. 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: 1915
