Lucy Wheatley VAD cook
« on: Friday 19 June 20 20:16 BST (UK) »
Lucy Wheatley was a cook at the Red Cross Hospital, Hailsham in 1916 - 1919.

On her record it says: H. Harvey to Admiral Pelham Commanded Hailsham Red X Hospital Detachment Sussex/100.

The Red Cross Hospital, Hailsham was Detachment Sussex/100 and H. Harvey would have been Miss Hilda Clyde Harvey - the Comandant. But what connection was there to Admiral Pelham?

N.B. Lucy was also Part time, working 2 hrs daily, "Total 912 hrs" - https://vad.redcross.org.uk/Card?fname=lucy&sname=wheatley&hosp=hailsham&id=222631&first=true&last=true - how has this calculated? :-\

Admiral Pelham was the Sussex County Director of the Red Cross so Harvey is confirming to him Lucy's record.  The 912 hours is presumably the total she worked during the 18/19 months time she was there.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe
