The flow of casualties from the various theatres of war soon overwhelmed the existing medical facilities in the United Kingdom, just as it did the recently established bases in France and Flanders. Many civilian hospitals and large buildings were turned over to military use. This listing is by no means complete.
Types of hospital
Existing Military Hospitals
Several military hospitals existed before the Great War, some even pre-dating the Boer War and going back to the Crimea.
The Territorial Force General Hospitals
A number of hospitals had been identified before the war for use and operation by the Territorial Force. They were generally based at existing hospitals and other large facilities. For example, the 1st Southern General Hospital was based on the Great Hall at the University of Birmingham. They did not exist as such prior to the war other than for training purposes, but were mobilised in August 1914. All were expanded during war time, not only on the primary sites but with the addition of Auxiliary Hospitals and annexes. They were staffed by a mixture of TF Nursing Service personnel and volunteers from many different organisations.
The War Hospitals
As the demand for hospital beds increased, one of the actions taken to provide more capacity was to turn over existing pre-war asylums for military use.
Beaufort War Hospital, Bristol
Military hospitals established at hutted army camps
Land either on existing army bases or acquired nearby for the purpose was converted into major hospitals.
Red Cross, St John’s Ambulance, auxiliary and private hospitals
Large numbers of public and private buildings (often large houses) were turned over for use as small hospitals, most of which operated as annexes to nearby larger hospitals. These are not listed below.
Specialist hospitals
Some hospitals were devloped as, or became, specialist units. Categories of specialism included mental hospitals, units for limbless men, neurological units, orthopaedic units, cardiac units, typhoid units and venereal disease.
Convalescent hospitals
These establishments did not have the usual civilian meaning of convalescence; they were formed from March 1915 onward to keep recovering soldiers under military control. See also the Command Depots
Hospitals by country/county/region
Please note that the list here, although long, if very far from complete. I add to it whenever I come across a new name mentioned in a soldier’s service record.
