Dumbleton VA hospital |
 |
| The village of Dumbleton, between Cheltenham and Evesham, is now technically in Worcestershire. Before the county boundaries were changed it was in Gloucestershire, and in 1915 it gave its village hall (which still serves as a village hall today) to supplement the Cheltenham VA hospitals. | Gloucestershire Red Cross Hospitals 1914-1919 |
