INFORMATION: The hospital was equipped with an operating theatre, kitchen, cinema, staff quarters and wards. It was only used for three months when all the wards were occupied by German Soldiers wounded in the D-Day Normandy battles. They were brought to the islands mainly by ship from Cherbourg. After a few weeks underground they were not really healing well and most were as white as a sheet having seen no sunlight in all that time. After the Liberation of most of France and with no signs of a the Channel Islands being liberated, the casualties were transferred to above ground accommodation.
