NOTE No 14 Stationary Hospital Wimereux

It was fortunate you asked, as while searching I've found a list of all the Boulogne hospital locations which I didn't realise I had. Anyway, a certain amount of investigation will still be required locally. Almost all the hospitals there were in hotels, and 14 General was split over three different places, all in Wimereux - I assume that they were probably adjacent to each other:

• Hotel Splendide
• The Casino
• Victoria Hotel

14 General was a rather interesting place (to me, anyway!) as it had a large officers' section and the VAD staff there included all the most well-heeled, high profile and well connected women employed by the War Office in France. Any VAD who had a title seemed to be working there, and the daughters of the DGMS Sir Arthur Sloggett, Sir Arthur Stanley of the British Red Cross Society and many other worthies. Not sure if this made the treatment there better or worse.
