ContributeHospital extension erected 1923 - bronze plaque outside of portico, with marble plaque above door inside with black carved lettering. Four marble tablets flanking door list names of those who served and fell. Extension was to provide 'X-ray electrical treatment and massage services'. Original intention was that the names of the fallen from WW1 would only appear on this memorial and not on WMP0745, which is why they are displayed in the entrance.
