Queen Elisabeth of Belgium helped organize a fleet of military ambulances in the First World War to ferry the wounded between the Front and field hospitals. By the end of the war she was known as Queen Nurse.

Queen Elisabeth asked Dr. Antoine Depage to establish a large hospital in the neighborhood of their residence in De  Panne. Depage accepted. This gave him an opportunity to treat wounded soldiers very close to the front line.
