Burgage Manor, Southwell

During the Great War, 1914-1918, Southwell's Burgage Manor was used as a hospital. Here are some photos from that period featuring different groups of soldiers and nurses.

Nurses of the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) and their patients

The nurses in the photo are wearing the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) uniform. Sitting next to the nursing officer, the one without a red cross on her blouse, is Alfred Holland whose nephew, Patrick Holland of Australia, I thank for supplying the photograph.

The photograph was probably taken in 1918.

Burgage Manor Hospital

Still to have it's identity confirmed, but it does look like the same building in the background as the photo above. The photo is dated 1915.
