John Berge Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 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. Hi Dan Just picked up your posting. You mention that you have written an article about patients of the war hospital at Lydgate School. My interest is a patient at Wharncliffe War Hospital. Do you know how/where I can get any information on this hospital, please? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
