This man was a patient at Beechland House in late 1916 and
early 1917. His entry in Nurse Oliver’s
album reads:
J
E Robinson
Wounded
on 15 Nov 16 on the Somme
He shares this page with 4082 Lance-Corporal Andrew McCrorie
of the 2nd Royal Scots Regiments and 57941 Lance-Corporal Albert
Edward Smith of the 20th (Central Ontario) Canadians. Also on this page is a pasted newspaper
cutting relating to the pantomime organised in 1917.
The cutting lists the performers in the pantomime which took
place on 7th February 1917. A
Private Robinson is noted as having played the part of Firefly I (while Lance
Corporal McCrorie played the role of Fairy Godmother and Lance-Corporal Smith
played the part of a merchant).
Nothing else is known about this man, the information in his
album entry being too slight to assist with further research.
