NOTE BY THE COMMANDANT The hospital was got ready for patients in 48 hours in October 1914, but the rush after the fall of Antwerp slackening it was not required until February 1915. It was first at Abbotswood, lent by Mr Fenwick, but was moved in the spring of 1916 to Kitebrook, lent by Mr Freer. The majority of the original staff continued to work at Kitebrook, a good many of the original workers still being there when the hospital closed, though several most excellent workers in the new neighbourhood joined us when we went to Kitebrook. The number of beds was increased in April 1918 to 70, which were all full at the time of the Armistice. The hospital was closed on December 20th 1918, most of the patients going on Christmas leave.
