I've just started another blog about the life of a Territorial Force general hospital during the Great War. It's based on the hospital magazine of No.3 London General Hospital, Wandsworth - the Gazette - which was probably the finest of all hospital magazines at that time. The hospital employed many men as hospital orderlies who were members of the Chelsea Arts Club, and with so much talent on offer, their journal could hardly fail. The Gazette includes articles, poetry, art, cartoons, photographs and humour, and is both entertaining and informative about every aspect of a large military hospital. How did those Chelsea Arts Club men come to be there? All will be explained in time ...
