    More like time to shoot the morons making fatuous remarks tagging these photos. Maybe they don't have enough intelligence to realize what they're looking at!
  • Jo Angus said:
    I agree. It's like spraying graffiti on a tomb stone. The disrespect and ignorance is completely beyond me.

    Cannot believe the photo quality in these conditions - tripods and plates, after all, not pocket-digi cams.

    'Nah-pooh' is in the lyrics to that song 'Good-byee', isn't it? "Bonsoir old thing, cheerio, chin-chin; nah-poo, toodle-oo, good-byee..."

    According to this website, "No.11 General Hospital" was at Genoa in Italy - www.anzacday.org.au/digging/hospitals.html

    From a nurse's account of life there - www.scarletfinders.co.uk/153.html
    There was one General and two Stationary Hospitals at Genoa. The first in a large hotel, the others in schools. Two of them already had patients and the other was being put in order. As there was no heating in the hotel, the building was intensely cold; it was, however, a very fine hotel with a marble staircase and beautiful baths, though at the time the baths were of little use, as there was no hot water. In the schools were some stoves which the patients thoroughly enjoyed. Later on we had an Infectious Hospital at Genoa, also a very nice hostel for sisters coming from the United Kingdom or moving about the country.
