Research output: Contribution to Specialist PublicationBulletin/Magazine

Abstract

In early 1917, Duston War Hospital opened its doors to sick and wounded Allied servicemen. 'This new Hospital was not actually new at all, but one of twenty-four asylums requisitions as part of the British war effort'. Duston War Hospital went on to care for thousands of men until its closure in 1919. But what happened to its civilian inmates during the war?
