military hospitals in UK

[JulianB]

Could I just ask how we are getting on with the list of such institutions.

I have contributed a couple before and in fact I can add a couple of others now;

Wilton Grange, West Derby, Liverpool

Lochiel Auxilliary Hospital, Banavie

(this one was certainly an officer's 'convalescent home')

(hope to be able to provide snapshot lists of patients at both soonish)

As I come across more I'd like to find details.

I think we got on quite well. If you check out the mother site, you'll find an extensive list.

Have you got what is now The Police Convalescent Home at Goring on Thames ??? Just down the road Arthur "Bomber" harris is buired under a superb headstone.

Hello everyone,

I have recently added to my Kent VAD website a transcription of the list of auxiliary military hospitals throughout England and Wales to be found as an Appendix of the Report of the Joint War Committee of the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St John (HMSO 1921).

The website address is http://www.juroch.demon.co.uk/kentvad.htm

Kent 1914 - 1919 - Hospitals (Military, VAD, Civil, Special and Private)

This website provides an alphabetical list of over 100 communities in Kent with between 1 and about 25 hospitals down to private homes which were used as part of a medical treatment system during the Great War. The hospitals in Kent were a great mixture of general and specialist main and auxiliary military establishments, VAD hospitals, small convalescent units (sometimes in private houses) and others. There were numerous private initiatives, especially early in the War – some of the more formal examples are the Army Nursing Homes at Folkestone, one Sittingbourne VAD which withdrew from Kent VAD and continued privately, and the Yarrow Home at Broadstairs which was organized and staffed by the Committee of Management for a time.
