Roll of Auxiliary Home Hospitals in the United Kingdom 1914-1919

The list is taken from The Report of the Joint War Committee of the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St John (HMSO 1921). The list is in Appendix III of the Report and I have reproduced below the introduction to this section. (Entries in the list in italics indicate hospitals I have come across reference to elsewhere than the JWC Report.)

Appendix III. Roll of Auxiliary Home Hospitals

Army Council Instruction No 614 of 1918 (part X, paragraph 26) relates to the functions of County Directors regarding Hospitals other than those directly under the Military Authorities, and instructed the County Directors as to their duties in respect of all Hospitals drawing capitation grants (except permanent Civil Hospitals and Hospitals administered by Boards of Guardians or Asylum Committees) to which they posted V.A.D.s, for which they signed requisitions for stores, petrol, etc., or which applied to them for other assistance. The following lists are an attempt to give the Auxiliary Home Hospitals in England, Wales (and Ireland not reproduced here), which, not being Military or Civil Hospitals, acknowledged the authority of, or received assistance from, the County Directors. It will be seen, therefore, that many Hospitals, which were well known to the public find no place in the lists, not having come within the scope of the County Directors' official work. Instances of such Hospitals are to be found, for example, in Bedfordshire, the first county in the lists: the Duchess of Bedford's Hospital at Woburn which was an outstanding feature of private munificence, and Kempston Military Hospital in which the whole nursing was undertaken by Red Cross Detachments, are both omitted. Civil Hospitals, many of which set aside beds for the wounded, and in which V.A.D. members worked under the general control of the County Director, are also excluded, except in a few cases where an entire building was made over to the Red Cross and managed as a separate Auxiliary Home Hospital. It has been found impossible to provide accurate and uniform statistics of each Hospital, suitable for inclusion in a single list. The period during which the Hospitals remained open varied, while the numbers of beds occupied and unoccupied, as well as those of the Staffs, were in many cases subject to frequent changes. For the available statistical information reference should be made to the Accounts of Auxiliary Military Hospitals for the years 1915-1918. (Copies of these survive in the collections of the Imperial War Museum and the Order of St John.) No attempt has been made to give the names of individuals and public bodies whose generosity in lending hospital accommodation took various forms. In some cases owners entirely maintained the Hospitals and patients, and, in addition, vacated their homes; in others they did the same but occupied a part of the premises. In some cases the houses and gardens were maintained by owners, while the maintenance of the work was provided by Government capitation grants and private subscriptions; in others unoccupied houses were lent subject to repairs and no outgoings were defrayed by the owners. Many public buildings were lent by Local Authorities. It would be difficult to employ a single generic term for so many different offers, and impossible to describe the details of each separately. It has been thought better, therefore, to leave personal acknowledgements to the reports of County Organisations. In the returns from which the lists are compiled the Hospitals were variously described as Auxiliary Military Hospitals, VAD Hospitals, etc., etc.

These descriptions are, in all cases, to be taken as indicating Auxiliary Home Hospitals, and where addresses only are given the words "Auxiliary Home Hospital" are to be implied. Although, in some cases, Hospitals organised by the British Red Cross Society are distinguished by their titles from those organised by the Order of St John, and vice versa, the lists as a whole do not purpose to separate the activities of the two Corporations.

Convalescent Homes for Officers in connection with Lady Dudley's Department are given in Appendix IV (not reproduced here), but some of these, as having been under County Directors, are also included in the following lists. A list of the Red Cross Auxiliary Hospitals in Scotland will be found in Appendix VIII. (Not reproduced here.)

London, County of
In the County of London, hospitals were accepted by the War Office through different channels, some through the Red Cross organisation, and others directly from donors or others, a large number of which latter were hospitals for Officers.  The County Director for London had consequently at the outset no direct control over the private hospitals, many of which, nevertheless, as time went on, came within his jurisdiction under Army Council Instructions (of which No 614 of 1918 is quoted above), and were helped in one or more of the ways mentioned in paragraph 3.  It has been thought best, therefore, to give a complete list of all the Auxiliary Hospitals in the County of London known to the County Director, distinguishing by an asterisk those which were accepted by the War Office through the Red Cross.
