Kirkes Lamb Posted 23 February , 2007 Share Posted 23 February , 2007 My Grandfather (RMLI) was injured at Gallipoli and ended up at the Hospital in Giza and the Covalencent Home at El Abassia (both Cairo Area) Later in the war he ended up in Hospital in Rouen. Wonder if anyone has any pictures of these places or further info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhill Posted 23 February , 2007 Share Posted 23 February , 2007 I cannot help with these exact units, but No. 5 Canadian Stationary Hospital was located at the New Cavalry Barracks Abbassia from August, 1915. Their War Diary might give you some idea of the workings of the medical services in and around Abbassia at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZackNZ Posted 23 February , 2007 Share Posted 23 February , 2007 Hi Do you know if the Ponte de Koubbeh Hospital, which was situated in 1915 7 or 8 miles out from Cairo, still exists? If so I'd appreciate a reference point to get some photos. Regards Zack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
