Old Bid Posted 23 January , 2022 Share Posted 23 January , 2022 Hello, I have just come across a reference to Isenhurst VAD hospital Cross in Hand. Does anyone have any knowledge or information about this? Woodcote a care home near Coss in hand is believed to have been a convalescence home for Canadian soldiers. Could this have been the same place? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be worth investigating however. https://www.greatwarforum.org/search/?q=isenhurst&quick=1 Photos here: http://www.lostheritage.org.uk/houses/lh_sussex_isenhurstmanor_info_gallery.html Woodcote Park Convalescent Hospital was in Surrey and catered specifically for Canadian Soldiers: https://wartimememoriesproject.com/greatwar/hospitals/hospital.php?pid=18196 TR Edited 23 January , 2022 by Terry_Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, unable to help with this one. Also the BRCS seems to have been mucking about with their records website making finding actual record cards rather difficult. I like to actually see them rather than to be told what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bid Posted 24 January , 2022 Author Share Posted 24 January , 2022 Many thanks, needs more investigating... Woodcote seems to be a popular name for care homes, maybe they got the wrong info on their website... Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
