My Stay at The Cambridge Military Hospital
I had my tonsils removed at the Cambridge Miltary Hospital in 1981 (aged 8). The only memory I have of this time is of a little girl named Yvonne Cherry who stayed in the bed next to mine, she never had any visitors and spent the majority of her time looking in my locker.
My father, Eric James was an ambulance driver for the Cambridge Hospital for many years. It's a beautiful building and it is heartbreaking to think of it standing with empty corridors and dusty old cobwebs.

RE: RE: My Stay at The Cambridge Military Hospital
I am Mollie Cleary, formerly Monger, and I was told I was born at the military hospital in 1937. Is it possible for me to find a record as on my birth certificate it gives the date of my birth and 21st Maternity Unit, Aldershot Hospital. My parents were farmers, not military. Is it possible that anyone can let me know where I would find any information about this?
Yours sincerely,
Mollie Cleary

Hiya Mollie,
I don't know if that would be the Cambridge Hospital although 21 Maternity Unit certainly sounds Military and 21 was the Regiment for the Parachute Field Ambulance. There was/is a maternity Hospital in Aldershot called the Louise Margaret. I suppose the Births/Deaths Registry would have the same thing that's written on your birth certificate. I hope you find out. x
