Military Hospital at Trent Bridge
« on: Monday 12 November 07 18:53 GMT (UK) »
I posted yesterday before the site went down but the message seems to have been lost along with the message from a kind soul who replied. 

Has anyone any information about the hospital, which was set up in the Nottingham cricket Club pavilion at Trent Bridge or Gunner William Barker (No 52940 Royal Field Artillery) who died there on 25 February 1918.

CWGC advises of his grave in Nottingham Cemetery but I think this is the memorial.  I wonder what church would have performed services for the soldiers who died at Trent Bridge and where William's body would have actually been interred?

If you check back on CWGC it tells you a little about the war graves in Nottingham general Cemetery -there are 300 + graves -there is a war plot of about 100 graves  and names on a wall - service men were laid to rest there mainly from sanatoriums in the city
This info is just from memory -check the CWGC out

Also if you contact the cemetery you should get a plot number and plan

It looks a strong possibility your ancestor is laid to rest there.
