V.A.D. COMMANDANTS HONOURED. - Two popular Commandants of V.A.D. Hospitals who have been awarded the O.B.E. for nursing services - Miss F. M. Wyld, Commandant of Mortimer, and Mrs. Cyril Tubbs, of Albion House Hospital, Newbury. Mortimer Hospital was opened in October, 1914, and 15 Belgian patients were received. In 1915 it was attached to the 3rd Southern General Hospital, Oxford, and in April, 1917, was transferred as an Auxiliary to No. 1 War Hospital, Reading. - Some 660 patients have been tended,there. Albion House Hospital was ready for use in December, 1914, and the first patient arrived in January, 1915. Subsequently the building was enlarged by the generosity of Mrs. Langford, and became an Auxiliary to Reading War Hospital. An annexe was added later and the number of beds was increased to fifty. The hospital is now closed, but the annexe will be kept open for another year to be run as a club (free of subscription) for sailors and soldiers, to be entitled the "Lest We Forget Club".
