Staff & patients in C Ward
Staff & patients in C Ward of Quex Park VAD Hospital. The patients are all wearing hospital blues with the exception of one man who is a Belgian solder (holding a tray with glasses). The men are sitting on and standing by seating over a heating vent; this remains today (2014) in Gallery 3 of the Powell-Cotton Museum. The screens behind, marked plate glass, were placed over the glass fronts of the large cases holding mammal dioramas in the Museum. At the left of the photograph can be seen the frame of the glass case holding the mounts of the Lion & Buffalo fighting; this also remains in the gallery today (2014). 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: C.1915
