St. Briavels VA hospital
The Ghyll House at St. Briavels in the Forest of Dean, then brand new and unoccupied, was loaned to the Red Cross by its owner, Mr Lamb. It was considered an ideal convalescent hospital because of its elevated position and beautiful views over the Severn and Wye valleys.	Gloucestershire Red Cross Hospitals 1914-1919
