WW1 - Hospitals

Tigne Hospital

I am indebted to Ian Gilroy who sent in the following photos. It is very difficult to find new, original photos from WWI.
As a background to Ian's Grandfather's time in Malta he reports that - 'My Grandfather, Walter Gilroy, was a Miner and in 1910 the local Doctor started first-aid
classes for the young miners in the town. As a consequence, when he and his friends joined-up together in 1914, they were put in the RAMC. After training they
departed for India via Egypt. They had no sooner got to India when they were ordered to return to be part of the Dardanelles campaign. On their way there they were
diverted to Malta to work in the hospitals there,.
