Hi
There is a plaque commemorating the 228th hospital in the Three Elms Pub which is just up the road (attached). They also have a full schematic of the hospital layout with some pictures from jean Treasure's book. They also serve a very good pint of cider so worth the short journey for more than one reason!
Still very interested in any other detail anyone has.
Regards
Mark
Mark-
I was just up by your house a little over a month ago! My wife and I traveled to Sherborne to find the remains of the 228th Field Hospital. My grandfather was a driver assigned to the 228th from 1943-1945. We were actually in England to visit London, but we cut our time in the city short by a day to visit Sherborne. I made a picture book of what we found for my grandfather, and I bought him (and myself and my dad) a copy of Jean Treasure's book about the 228th--got it in the Sherborne Museum.
The whole thing was quite an adventure--first time I'd been to England. My grandfather was blown away by the picture book and Treasure's book on the unit. He's actually in the picture on the front cover--he has an original of that unit portrait. He'll be 91 in August and doesn't do much reading anymore besides the newspaper, but I think he read that book 4 times in the weekend I was there. Turns out that the soldier who was assigned as Ms. Treasure's driver--Maurice Whipp--was my grandfather's co-driver when they would drive outside the Sherborne/Haydon area.
I took a couple of pictures of your house--hope you don't mind!
