No. 2 General Hospital

[gengrant]

Does anyone know where the No. 2 General Hospital's location was from 1942-1943. I think it was in the Middle East on the outskirts of Cairo? Is this correct and what name was the Hospital called?

Hi CanCan
Yes I have seen that sight but could not make any sense of it. Would it be No. 2 Scottish General hospital or maybe, No. 2 British General Hospital?

My father was admitted to 2nd Gen. Hos. in Egypt after being evacuated from Greece in April 1941.

I believe that the original link on this thread is to a list of USA hospitals, and not British ones - perhaps the site owner hadn't heard that the British were there as well :)
The second link is to a list of British General Hospitals, taken from documents at The National Archives, Kew. That one is definitely British!

Sue, you can tell the first list is American because it starts later in the war. Great job on British General Hospitals list.
