The first convoy of patients arrived in May 1915. Hear the rest of the story with historian Katherine Slay of the West Sussex Records Office. Learn about the part the Graylingwell Hospital played in World War 1 at this fascinating talk, enjoying photos of wards, therapeutic activities enjoyed and images of the grounds as they were then.
