    Hello all,

    Does anyone have any idea on availability of records from military hospitals in wartime Saida (Syria - believed to be 22 British General Hospital) and Cape Town (South Africa - hospital designations/names unknown).

    I'm specifically interested in late 1942 for Syria and early 1943 for Cape Town ...

    Any pointers gratefully received,

    Skip

    Start with this excellent site
    Home - Scarlet Finders
    Then the NA at Kew using their Discovery search engine you should be able to find the diaries. They will be an interesting and on occasions an emotional read
    For 22 General Hospital you get a couple of possible diaries
    WO222/742
    WO222/1931
    WO177/1225
