Overview

Ward at Coulter Hospital with Nurses, named, and two patients

Historical information

The Coulter Hospital opened in September 1915 in a house in Grosvenor Square lent for the purpose by Sir Walpole Greenwell. Accepted by the War Office as a primary hospital affiliated to Queen Alexandra's Military Hospital at Millbank, it had 100 beds for officers. The rooms were large and lofty. One of these was an 'Australian Room' and some of the beds had been given by Australian donors. The building was demolished in 1961 and is now replaced by an apartment block.
