Brook House

Brook House is slightly off-beam from my original research which focused on Hickwells, Beechland House and the men and women of Chailey. But Brook House, the home of Magnus Rainier Robertson, was also a convalescent hospital for RFC officers and I reproduce below, more photos from Frances Isabel Blencowe's album. Frances was the commandant at Brook House and appears in a number of the photos.  I would welcome further information about any of the men or women featured here.

The hospital was opened on 13th June 1917 under Deputy Director of Medical Services, London and was transferred to Assistant Director of Medical Services, Sussex District on 4th August 1917.
