EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the scene at Earls Court in West London during the First World War, where one thousand wartime beds were provided by the Metropolitan Asylums Board in the Queens Palace for Belgian refugees. The image serves as a stark reminder of the poverty and displacement that resulted from the conflict, with the long rows of beds filling the vast space of the former workhouse. The Queens Palace, a grand Victorian building, had been transformed into a makeshift shelter for those fleeing the devastation of war in their homeland. The Queen's Palace, which had previously served as a workhouse and an asylum, became a beacon of hope and shelter for the Belgian refugees during these trying times. The Metropolitan Asylums Board, an organization responsible for the management of workhouses and asylums in London, played a crucial role in providing accommodation for those in need. The photograph, taken in 1914, offers a glimpse into the historical significance of Earls Court as a refugee camp during the First World War, a time when the world was forever changed by the Great War. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
