TRANSCRIBED FROM THE DURHAM MORNING HERALD, AUGUST 21, 1918 P 1
We will win, I mean the allies, and no mistake.
We were in a rest camp for several days, and was sent out and finally landed in a locality where the American Red Cross were and are still engaged in building a large hospital
It will be when completed a three thousand bed hospital. It is located on a river, only a little distance from the sea, and is a most beautiful. It is thought we will be ready for patients in about 30 days from this time. The location is an old estate and the manor has in all 99 rooms, of which most will be used for wards. The house will accommodate about 250.
