Description
DescriptionThis album is one of several that are part of the collection of Arthur Bennett, which is currently held by the Workshops Rail Museum. The descriptions on the images are directly from the individual photographs. During the First World War from 1914-1919 Harefield House, in Middlesex, England was converted into the Number 1 Australian Auxiliary Hospital. During this time it was only supposed to house up to 150 soldiers, however at the height of the war Harefield had up to 1,000 beds in use. This photograph depicts the Harefield Hospital ANZAC Cemetery which holds the bodies of over 100 Australian and New Zealand soldiers, who lost their lives in the Harefield House Hospital after being wounded in the French battlefields of the First World War (for more information see the Australian War Memorial website).
