Dear Mal, "Dartford Hospital" covers a multitude of sins ! There were Joyce Green Hospital West Hill Hospital The Livingstone Hospital & a number of others that were intended for mental & fever conditions, but may well have been pressed into service as "Accident & Emergency" units due to war-time pressures. If her home was in Abbey Wood, I'm surprised she wasn't admitted to Erith Hospital, but a Dartford unit could have been used as "overflow". Can you be more specific please ?

I have found a relevant name listed in the CWGC site and so far the details seem to tally. The entry gives the address and I wondered if it's possible to access any records that would give me details of the circumstances of her death. She died in Dartford Hospital on 6th September 1940, and her home address was in Abbey Wood. In the past it has been mentioned in the family that Aunt Rose died in WWII, in a bombing raid, she lived somewhere in north Kent, so this sounds as if it could have been her. Any suggestions will be most welcome. Mal from W Australia
