Admin DavidOwen Posted 16 April , 2019 Admin Share Posted 16 April , 2019 Found a little on the Duchess of Connaught hospital. Run by the Canadian Red Cross. https://www.redcross.ca/history/artifacts/duchess-of-connaught-canadian-red-cross-hospital-plaque https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Red_Cross_Memorial_Hospital http://eco.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.9_08744/1?r=0&s=1 http://rcnarchive.rcn.org.uk/data/VOLUME054-1915/page320-volume54-17thapril1915.pdf https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01yn8bh https://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/hospitals-and-asylums/7196-canadian-red-cross-taplow-shots.html#.XLXl3ehKjIU The Wellcome Library also has a book by JR Howe but it is not available online. https://search.wellcomelibrary.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1474594__Sduchess of connaught hospital__Orightresult__U__X2?lang=eng&suite=cobalt Good luck with your research!

Moonraker Posted 16 April , 2019 Share Posted 16 April , 2019 (edited) I think that Sniper is asking about the Duchess of Connaught Auxiliary Hospital at Middle Green, Slough. See this Datchet website not the Duchess of Connaught Convalescent (or Red Cross) Hospital at Cliveden House, Taplow, about seven miles from Slough and to which some of the above links refer. Searching the Forum for "Taplow" and/or "Cliveden" will lead to previous posts. A very quick Google yields very little about the Auxiliary Hospital in Slough. Alf's link to local newspaper articles looks very useful. Moonraker Edited 16 April , 2019 by Moonraker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
