Fred Asquith, Clayton-le-Moors, enlisted in the Royal Medical Corps and was sent to the Kitchener Hospital at Elm Grove Brighton, which treated wounded soldiers from the Indian Army. He always carried a pocket-sized nurse's dictionary - and OXO cubes! There are photographs from inside the hospital, and from a trip to Southampton before the war. He was posted overseas.
