kevmc Posted 27 October , 2010 Share Posted 27 October , 2010 Hello David Attached is a plan of the complex which was sited behind the Trianon Hotel on the cliff tops above Le Treport. The Hotel was built in 1910 and used as part of a Hospital complex which, the plan shows, was a number of Hospitals. The Germans destroyed the Hotel in WW2. The area is now covered by a housing estate. The local cemetary was initially used for burials but later on the Mont Huon Cemetery was created, this is a couple of miles out of town towards Dieppe and is set on a high plateau. Because of the image size of the plan I will have to do an additional post of one of the Photos of the Hospital. There are many available if you Google. The town was a popular holiday centre and the French have a nostalgia for it which means there are sites dedicated to its history and you will also discover photos of the Trianon on these sites.

kevmc Posted 27 October , 2010 Share Posted 27 October , 2010 David A photo of the Le Treport complex as promised. Also worth looking for Nurses Diaries, particularly Canadian. They moved around various hospitals and a number of diaries refer to Le Treport. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Numberfour Posted 5 June , 2012 Share Posted 5 June , 2012 Hi David I have just joined this site,after reading your mention of a letter you have, written by Nursing Sister Carola Douglas. I have a copy of a postcard that Carola sent from France to Miss Nita Douglas.Is this the same item? Carola was my husband's great aunt,and I have also researched her story. Are you a member of the Douglas family? Best regards Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ajjbc Posted 17 June , 2014 Share Posted 17 June , 2014 Dave, I hope you don't mind but I copied a few of your photos you posted, re: Le Treport Canadian Hosp.,for personal use only. My great Uncle, John"Jack" Richardson Waldie 1885- 1958 was sent directly over in 1915,he was a young male nurse,with Dr's skills. He stayed there till demobilization in1919. Previous to his Canadian enlistment ,he was with the,"Borders Rifle Ambulance" Hawick Rox.,Scotland….I believe it was at "Stobs"…I need to research that further. Then being sent to England and then returning home to Canada and then later being employed in Rochester,N.Y.,USA Thanks for the photos Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 17 June , 2014 Share Posted 17 June , 2014 At a guess, "Stobs" is Stobo Castle near Peebles, which served as a hospital during the GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
