Commemorating and remembering the lives of the men and women of Chailey, Sussex during the Great War 1914-1918 and remembering too the sick and wounded soldiers nursed by Sussex 54 VAD. This is their story.
Chailey's convalescents
A roll-call of men known to have been nursed by the women of Sussex 54 VAD at Hickwells (Chailey) and latterly at Beechlands (or Beechland House) in Newick. In time, this list will link to biographies about the men concerned.
Men marked with an asterisk do not appear in Nurse Oliver's album but did leave their names in an album kept by fellow VAD probationer, Rose Smythe.
