The VADs in Poole First World War Hospitals

A roll call of all the women (and men) who enabled the First World War hospitals in Poole to cope with all the wounded servicemen brought back from the Front.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,We shall remember them.

- Robert Laurence Binyon
