London military hospitals

[Wendy Moore]

Can anyone point me to a list of military hospitals operating in London in WW1 with their bed numbers? I'm trying to build up a picture of their relative sizes.

many thanks. Wendy Moore

Thank you for that! I had found that previously but it's useful to be reminded. Just wondering whether there is any info on bed numbers anywhere?

The statistics for medical accommodation in the United Kingdom is in the Medical History of the Great War Volume 1 Chapter 5 page 70

The volume is available online 

(will take a bit of unpicking!)

Many thanks! I should have known, all roads lead back to the official history ...

The list of hospitals in the UK  published in 1917 gives the numbers of  beds for officers and other ranks at the various hospitals.
