deano Posted 18 November , 2012 Share Posted 18 November , 2012 Hello, looking to compile a list of fomer Patients of said hospital, I have the names from the Roll of Honour that died there, also all the names that appear on the forum through using the search. Was wondering if, when your all trawling through Pension/Service records and see 'Wharncliffe War Hospital' pass on the details here of who it refers to please ? Massive task, but someones got to do it ! The admission books no longer survive. regards Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kath Posted 18 November , 2012 Share Posted 18 November , 2012 Hi Dean, I put "Wharncliffe Hospital" in Keyword for Military search & got this: http://search.ancest...yDeaths&indiv=1 Putting in "War Hospital" in Keyword gets more results - not necessarily Wharncliffe.

Kath Posted 18 November , 2012 Share Posted 18 November , 2012 Hi, Chris. I'm worried in case links to Ancestry or FMP may be frowned on by the companies involved. Or can they only be seen if you have a membership already? Kath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KernelPanic Posted 19 February , 2019 Share Posted 19 February , 2019 (edited) My great-grandfather, Walter Mason (T977, Army Service Corps, Driver) was in Wharncliffe for treatment with trench nephritis in early 1916. As far as I can tell, he served with the 50thDivisional (Northumbrian) Train, 467 Company. The pension records that we have for him says he was admitted to Etaples in France on 10thJanuary 1916 for acute nephritis, and was there for 2 months. He was then invalided to Wharncliffe for a further 6 weeks. He recovered sufficiently to be sent back to his unit, which was in the Ypres area at the time. His disabilities eventually included ‘disordered activity of the heart (DAH)’ for which he was given C1 status in early 1917, and then to class P Army Reserve. He was finally discharged from military service in September 1917. His nephritis was never fully cured, and he died from it in 1938.

high wood Posted 18 July , 2023 Share Posted 18 July , 2023 I have these two photographs which came together with a third post card, the first two were, I believe, taken at he Wharncliffe War Hospital. The third post card was sent to Sister Macpherson at Wharncliffe Hospital. I believe that she was Sister Jean Macpherson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high wood Posted 18 July , 2023 Share Posted 18 July , 2023 The third photograph was taken in Park Road which leads towards Uxbridge Common. The sender, whose name is illegible is presumably one of the two soldiers in the other photograph either side of the nurse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted 25 July , 2023 Share Posted 25 July , 2023 Good Evening, I have undertaken a project to research the names listed on our church memorial plaques for those of the congregational who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. I am currently researching the following name, of which I have found out was a patient at the Wharncliffe War Hospital. Andrew Ness. Born 6th August 1886 Pathhead, Dysart Kirkcaldy Fife. He originally joined the Highland Cycle Battalion at the beginning of the Great War, however he was transferred to the 2/7 Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment(Private. 267281 ). Andrew received a gunshot wound (GSW) to his right buttock on the 4th December 1917 while in the trenches in France. He was admitted to the Wharncliffe War Hospital on 10th December 1917 and discharged on 29th January 1918, re-joining his battalion in France six months later after sick leave and rehabilitation locally to home (Kirkcaldy, Fife). Andrew was Killed in Action during an offensive to take the town of Merville, which is 5km to the east of Lambre on the 20th August 1918 and is buried in the Tannay Commonwealth War Graves (CWGC) Cemetery in Thiennes. I hope this information will be of value to you developing your website. Regards Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
