A picture of inside West Cornwall Hospital picture supplied by John Gendall
Observation notes from Halfhidden: This photograph suggests that it may well have been taken in the late 1920s. Note the gas lighting on the ceiling and the dress code.
Additional notes: I can see that the nurses all have anchors on thier pinnies, the staff nurse at the end of the beds has a dog in her arms and to the right of her is a child
Nurses uniforms just after 1918 up until c1930. I suspect the decorations are for a Christmas, plenty of mistletoe. Probably a posed picture for the families. This may possibly be the Bolitho Convalescent Hospital, more later ...
White Ensign and lifebelt by the officer s bed. Home made to make him feel at home. There are other flags here for other units and forces, there is a uniformed officer in the far corner, below the checquered flag.
