Brighton Military Hospitals [England]
brief history:
There were several buildings turned hospital facilities, starting in 1914 with arrival of wounded Indian soldiers going into
royal pavilion, the corn exchange and the dome.
In 1915 Brighton Hove and Sussex VI form college on Dyke Road, were converted into 520 bed military hospital mostly
for British and Dominion wounded soldiers.
More buildings were transformed in facilities to host the steady stream of wounded.
