Chris Caul Posted 30 October , 2004 Share Posted 30 October , 2004 I'm trying to find the name and address of a convalescent home for soldiers that was in Blackrock near Dublin during and after the war. Can anyone help please? Thanks, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Buck Posted 30 October , 2004 Share Posted 30 October , 2004 The address on a postcard written in August 1916 to my father Pte Arthur Buck, 4th Suffolks was Temple Hill Auxiliary Hospital, Blackrock Co. Dublin. I believe that this was where he convalesced after being wounded at the Battle of the Somme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Caul Posted 1 November , 2004 Author Share Posted 1 November , 2004 I thought I might have been stretching my luck with that question, but once again forum members have come up with the goods! The reason for asking the question is I found out over the weekend that one of my great grandfathers was in the RAMC in the war, and at the end of the war he worked at the home as a medic. Thankyou to you both. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted 1 November , 2004 Share Posted 1 November , 2004 Hi Chris, I'm pleased you found the right one. Was it the Temple Hill one then? Robbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
