Group on rear verandah, Quex Park
Group of patients and one nurse on the rear verandah, overlooking the gardens, Quex Park. This verandah ran along the back of the Museum buildings and was used as a sheltered outdoor space in summer. Patients could retain their regimental caps in the Hospital. Two of the men here have Australian caps. The Quex Park VAD Hospital admitted Australian, Canadian, Belgian and British patients during the years it was open.
