EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant studio photograph captures the moment of respite for Sergeant Emile Verheyen of the 3rd Regiment of the Belgian Army, as he takes a break from his recovery at the Quex Park Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) Hospital in Birchington-on-Sea, England. Dated 15th January 1915, the image shows Sergeant Verheyen, a patient at the hospital between 14th November 1914 and 29th March 1915, seated with his elbow leaned against a pillar. His right hand cradles a cigarette in a holder, while his left hand, bandaged from a hand wound, rests in his lap. The Quex Park VAD Hospital opened on 15th October 1914 and closed on 31st January 1919. It was run by the Kent/178, Birchington Detachment, with Commandant Hannah Powell-Cotton, wife of Major Percy HG Powell-Cotton, founder of the Powell-Cotton Museum, overseeing its operations. During its time in operation, the hospital provided essential care to thousands of wounded soldiers from various Allied forces, including the Belgian Army, like Sergeant Verheyen. The inscription on the reverse of the photograph reads 'Souvenir de Emile Verheyen, Sergent, 3rd Regt. De Ligne, Ostende.' This poignant memento serves as a testament to the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War and the vital role of hospitals like Quex Park in their recovery.
