GnrEaton Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 This is my first post on this forum and I'll open by saying wow - what a fantastic resource! I'm a Sheffielder myself, and having recently returned back to my native city after a decade in Bradford and am just beginning to get the feel again for the local history (particularly WWI) of the area. I've started by looking into the local War hospital at Lydgate School and am trying to piece together it's story between 1915 and 1919 as it doesn't seem to have any recorded history. I've written an article on its patients (not quite sure what to do with it though!) but if anybody has ideas about Nursing staff there I would love to know. Dan.

Not got anything on particular nursing staff but i do have this, 'Lydgate Council School' Used as an Auxilliary Hospital. Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnrEaton Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks for that! I've come across that before - is it the one from one of the 3 newspaper scrapbooks in Sheffield Local Studies? I've attached a draft of my work so far - hope you enjoy it!!! (Apologies in advance for any inaccuracies!!!) Dan.

Guest Trefcon Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Just found this in my things, these are the 'Hospital Blues' mentioned in Dan's article above. They weren't made with white lapels and turn ups, they had high necks and the men used to turn the collar down to make lapels, same with the turn-ups. Dean.
