Health and Well-Being
The City of Bath had always been famous as a centre of healing, and its medical research and learning was much needed to treat the wounded soldiers who became patients at the War Hospital.
Surgical Requisites Association
The Surgical Requisites Association was an offshoot of Queen Mary’s Needlework Guild, who undertook to supply surgical dressings.
The Bath Bun
Just before Christmas 1917 it was decided that, utilising the talents of the wounded soldiers at the hospital, a magazine would be produced.
Needlework
Needlework and embroidery were widely used as occupational therapy for wounded soldiers during WW1.
