Liz in Eastbourne Posted 23 November , 2016 Share Posted 23 November , 2016 (edited) Can anyone identify this unknown hospital where a friend's grandfather (Pte Joseph Lynn. 5th Ox and Bucks LI, second left in front standing row) was a patient after being wounded at Arras in 1917? It's a tall order, but perhaps someone recognises other people on it, whether nurses or patients. http:// Liz Edited 23 November , 2016 by Liz in Eastbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardess Posted 26 November , 2016 Share Posted 26 November , 2016 Wish I could help but I must say it looks like it may be a convalescent home and the stamp at bottom right suggests Lovell Smith Richmond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz in Eastbourne Posted 26 November , 2016 Author Share Posted 26 November , 2016 So it does! I missed that, though I assume it's fairly obvious on the photograph 'in the flesh', which I haven't seen. Thanks, Diane. Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roel22 Posted 26 November , 2016 Share Posted 26 November , 2016 (edited) Lovell Smith probably is the photographer. Just in case the hospital was in Richmond, check this. Roel Edited 26 November , 2016 by roel22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz in Eastbourne Posted 26 November , 2016 Author Share Posted 26 November , 2016 (edited) Yes, I realised Lovell Smith would be the photographer, Roel - but I was thinking it was more likely to be Richmond, Surrey, than Richmond, North Yorkshire, though. There was apparently a military hospital in the former workhouse there. EDIT Yes, he was definitely a photographer in Richmond, Surrey - he took many local postcard photographs, evidently. Thanks for the thought, anyway. Liz Edited 26 November , 2016 by Liz in Eastbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 26 November , 2016 Share Posted 26 November , 2016 I agree with Liz about Richmond, Surrey: http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/richmondredcross.html TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz in Eastbourne Posted 28 November , 2016 Author Share Posted 28 November , 2016 Thanks, Terry. Sorry to have been a bit slow to come back. Evidently there are two possibilities - I was thinking of this one: http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/groveroad.html On another thread it's become clear he was at a hospital in Leamington Spa in November 1917, so he might have been transferred here, as Diane said, to convalesce.
