    2. Peter Patilla
    3. Evening all As part of my Crich Parish WWI memorial I have become interested in the local VAD hospitals set up during WW1 In particular I have some information on: The South Wingfield VAD at Mill House (thanks to the S.Wingfield LHS) The Belper VAD at Green Hall The Cromford VAD at Willersley Castle The Darley Dale VAD at the Whitworth Institute (scene of my first illicit cigarette at the Friday "Dances" in 1956; I broke the habit in 1985) If anyone has info on any of these I would be delighted However, my main query is regarding what is recorded at the Matlock Auxiliary VAD Hospital at Darley Dale (this is not Whitworth Institute). Maybe the Whitworth Hospital on the A6 (scene of many of my stitches after childhood accidents) . Can anyone confirm/refute that Whitworth Hospital and Matlock Auxiliary Hospital at Darley Dale are one and the same . All the info I have on the fascinating VADs will be on the www.crichparish.co.uk site very shortly. Regards Peter
