EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated August 1916, captures Antoinette Powell-Cotton (1913-1997) in the lush gardens of Quex Park, engaged in a playful game of tennis with her father's secretary, Miss May Glass. The serene setting belies the tumultuous events unfolding during that time, as Quex Park had been transformed into a Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) hospital just two years prior, on 15 October 1914. The hospital, run by Kent/178, the Birchington Detachment, provided essential care for wounded soldiers during World War I. Antoinette's parents, Major Percy HG Powell-Cotton (1866-1940) and Hannah Powell-Cotton (1881-1964), played pivotal roles in the hospital's operation. Percy, the founder of the Powell-Cotton Museum, and Hannah, the Commandant, dedicated their resources and energy to ensure the wellbeing of the soldiers. The hospital closed its doors on 31 January 1919, marking the end of an era for the Powell-Cotton family and the community of Birchington-on-Sea. As Antoinette and Miss Glass share a moment of respite from the daily hospital activities, the tranquility of the garden serves as a poignant reminder of the hope and healing that blossomed amidst the chaos of war. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the lives of those who bravely served and cared for the wounded soldiers during the First World War.
