Tonym Posted 3 June , 2007 Share Posted 3 June , 2007 I am reproducing this photo as a result of information received from BRCS Archives. I am hoping that someone with a good knowledge of Scotland, particularly the Dumfriesshire area, can solve the problem of location. BRCS have provided me with a list of their War Auxiliary Hospitals in the Dumfiesshire and Border areas as follows: - DUMFRIESSHIRE Castle Milk Auxiliary Hospital, Lockerbie [Donor Sir Robert & Lady Buchanan Jardine, Castle Milk, Lockerbie] Drumlanrig Auxiliary Hospital, Thornhill [Donor The Duke & Duchess of Buccleuch] Dryfeholm Auxiliary Hospital, Lockerbie [Donor Mr. & Mrs Jardine of Jardine Hall, Lockerbie Lockerbie Auxiliary Hospital, Lockerbie [Donor Sir Robert & Lady Buchanan Jardine, Castle Milk, Lockerbie] Moffat Auxiliary Hospital, Moffat [Donor Trustees and Members of the Proudfoot Institure, Moffat] WIGTOWNSHIRE Glendarroch Auxiliary Hospital,Craighlaw, Kirkowan Physgill Auxiliary Hospital, Whithorn Lochinch Auxiliary Hospital, Castle Kennedy STEWARTRY OF KIRCUDBRIGHTSHIRE Broomlands Auxiliary Hospital, near Dumfries ROXBURGH Newton Don Auxiliary Hospital, Kelso BERWICKSHIRE Manderston Auxiliary Hospital, Coldingham Southfield Auxiliary Hospital, Duns Thirlestane Castle Auxiliary Hospital, Lauder Ecles Auxiliary Hospital, Eccles Lennel Auxiliary Hospital, Coldstream The photo was taken no later than 20th May 1915 as the young officer on the right, Capt James Dykes, sailed for Gallipoli on 21st May. If anybody can identify the location of where this group was taken I and Capt. Dyke’s granddaughter will be most grateful. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonym Posted 3 June , 2007 Author Share Posted 3 June , 2007 Thanks Malcolm I will keep a note of them but I think they look a little too big. At least that identifies two of them. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le_Treport Posted 3 June , 2007 Share Posted 3 June , 2007 Here's a link to a photo of Eccles House in Berwickshire. Doesn't look like this was the place. There's a photo of Lennel House here and I don't think this is it either! Sassoon was at Lennel if I remember correctly. I assume Eccles House was the location of the hopital listed. At least you can rule them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
