TOPIC:

I am conducting research on the King Edward VII's Hospital, Marylebone, London. It was founded in 1899 to treat wounded officers from the Boer war. I would be most grateful if anybody has any information on this topic. In particular if there is any record of a Captain Ulnor Median at about 1901.

With many thanks

Regarding the query in your second sentence - is it about whether "Captain Ulnor Median" was serving at KEVII hospital "about 1901"or else had been treated there for an injury sustained at the front at that time? If the latter, I can only add that there is no such name shown in the list of officers who served in the Boer War; nor is there any such entry in the Palmer casualty roll.

This is a bit left-field, and I’m not a medic, but “Ulnor Median” sounds like a badly spelled description of a bone or nerve in the arm? Ulnar something, so description of an injury not a person?

Thank you for your replies. I think the name “Capt.Ulnor Median” is probably a humorous pun!

I understand about 300 British officers were treated by Agnes and Margaret Keyser at her house at 17 Grosvenor Cresent Belgravia London during the Boer War. The Hospital was called “Sister Agnes’s Hospital” until 1904 when it became known as “King Edward VII’s Hospital for Officers:Sister Agnes Founder”. I would be very grateful if anyone has any information on the officers admitted to “Sister Agnes’s Hospital” .
