EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early years of Mansfield House in Birchington during the First World War. Located on Spencer Road, Mansfield House was one of the buildings used by the Birchington Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) in the crucial early days of its work from 1914 to 1915. In this image, taken in 1917, we see a group of three dedicated VAD staff members and fifteen Imperial military patients, a testament to the vital role Mansfield House played in providing medical care, rehabilitation, and recuperation for soldiers during the war. The patients, a mix of sitting and standing, appear engaged in conversation and laughter, suggesting a sense of camaraderie and community. The backdrop of the beautiful Birchington seafront and the lush Quex Park add to the idyllic setting, offering a brief respite from the harsh realities of the war. This photograph provides a poignant glimpse into the history of Mansfield House and the important work of the Birchington VAD detachment during the First World War.
