(NRS reference: BR/LIB(S)5/63 p. 36)

Transcript: 

At a very early stage in the war, it became apparent that the hospital accommodation in the country would be quite inadequate to deal with the large number of wounded and invalided soldiers and sailors… and the Directors of the Company decided to place the main portion of the Administration Building at the disposal of the British Red Cross Society. 

…Springburn Hospital was opened for the reception of patients on 24 December 1914 and remained open until 21 May 1918, covering the treatment of 8,211 soldiers.
