The Orderlies

At the start of the war those men enlisted as orderlies in the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) had often been rejected by the army as physically unfit, prohibited from being a soldier by age, height, and even flat feet. As the war progressed the army became less fussy as the need for more men to fight was so great.

The Autograph Books

The Glenside Hospital Museum has two original autograph books in their Collection, and scanned copies of two others belonging to staff at the hospital. Soldiers and members of staff contributed comic rhymes and verses, quotes from favourite writers and poets, and also drawings and water colours.
