This monochrome photographic postcard was produced during World War One, when the Royal Pavilion was used as a military hospital for wounded Indian soldiers. It was part of a series issued by the Corporation of Brighton with the assistance of the military authorities. The image shows the interior of one of the kitchens that was set up on the Royal Pavilion estate. Nine of these kitchens were constructed in the grounds, to cater for the religious and cultural dietary needs of its patients. All the food was prepared by the patients' co-religionists or men of the same caste. The men pictured here appear to be cooking bread, probably chapatis. Although a common food in India, the men were initially unfamiliar with cooking with gas rather than an open flame.
