National Service
A Memory of Hindhead.
I did my national service in the Royal Army Medical Corps at the Connaught Military
Hospital during 1957 and 1958. I worked in the pathology dept., ending up as Corporal.
I remember the Gurkha patients coming, I think in the second half of 1958, so I may have been there at the same time as Margaret Boale.
I have a Frith photograph of part of the hospital as she describes it showing the single storey huts - it appears to have been taken from the nurses home or the Seven Thorns Pub. Reference number on the card is BMT.4. but I have not found it on the website yet
I have happy memories of the Connaught, Haslemere, and the lovely countyside.
