EDITORS COMMENTS
Section Sanitaire Anglaise 19 - Coxyde Bains" is a poignant and evocative painting by Ernest Procter, depicting the house next to the Poste de Secours (Aid Post) at Nieuport Bains during World War I. Procter, an ambulance driver and official artist with the Friends Ambulance Unit from 1916 to 1917, and later an official war artist for the Ministry of Information from 1918 to 1919, captured the essence of the medical treatment facilities that provided much-needed relief to soldiers on the Western Front. The painting portrays a serene and picturesque scene, with the red-roofed house nestled among the dunes and sandy beaches of Coxyde. However, this tranquil setting belies the harsh realities of war that would have unfolded just beyond the frame. The Poste de Secours, a makeshift medical treatment center, would have been a hive of activity, with wounded soldiers being tended to by medical personnel. Procter's use of light and color in the painting adds to its emotional impact. The warm tones of the house and the surrounding landscape contrast sharply with the muted greens and browns of the military structures, creating a sense of hope and respite amidst the chaos of war. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textures of the sand and the folds of the soldiers' uniforms. This painting is a testament to the heroic efforts of the medical personnel and volunteers who worked tirelessly to provide care to the wounded soldiers on the Western Front. It is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of medical care in times of conflict. Ernest Procter's "Section Sanitaire Anglaise 19 - Coxyde Bains" is a valuable historical document and an important contribution to the visual record of World War I. It provides a unique insight into the daily life and experiences of the soldiers and medical personnel who served on the Western Front, and is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of history.
