Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital

The matron of the Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital wishes us to say that the building will put on festive attire on Christmas Day, and those in the wards made to feel the spirit of the season.

She gives a cordial invitation to any who would care to pay a visit to the hospital.

Gifts of old linen are always most acceptable.
