See-saw in the garden

Eight men are around a wooden structure, probably some sort of see-saw. The man on the right of the see-saw has fallen off and the man on the left has landed heavily on the ground as a result. Those standing around are very amused. The man who has fallen off is Sgt Emile Verheyen from Ghent, a patient between 14 November 1914 and 29 March 1915. He was married to a Belgian girl in Ramsgate in 1916. The man holding on to the central post of the see-saw is Artieme Mettrie from Antwerp, a pateitnt between 14 November 1914 and 13 May 1915. He had had a finger amuputated but leter returned to active service in Belgium. 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
