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
