Date: 1914-1916
From: Beeton, Edith Audrey Mayson, 1890-1980: Photographs of the New Zealand hospital, St George's Hill, Weybridge, England, 1914-1918
Reference: PA1-o-853
Description: Most of the album shows life and leisure persuits at Duneevan and soldiers and nurses at the St George's Hill Military Hospital at Weybridge. There is some connection between the house and the hospital as there are photographs of soldiers boating on the lake or "Broadwater" in the garden at Duneevan. There are four pictures of British troops on their way to Bisley in August 1914 and one of a group of Belgians (presumably refugees). There is no indication that all the soldiers depicted are New Zealanders, and there is only one page specifically headed "New Zealanders". It is possible that Duneevan was the home of the creator of the album, Audrey Beeton who also may have worked as a nurse at the St George's Hill Hospital. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
