An appeal on behalf of THE VICTORIA HOSPITAL, GUERNSEY, by Major-General E. N. BROADBENT , C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., Lieutenant-
Governor of Guernsey
This is the first broadcast call for national help from an institution in the Channel Islands. The Victoria Hospital is the only hospital in Guernsey supported by voluntary contributions, and of late very necessary extensive repairs and replacements have greatly strained the financial resources, though the islanders responded to an appeal to the extent of £3,000.
Now a fresh effort is being made to raise additional funds, due to the long-felt need of having a home for the nurses separate from the hospital building, and it is principally to help this work that His Excellency Major-General Broadbent is appealing. He has held the office of Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark for the past two years. In those ' holiday islands ' visitors from Great Britain not infrequently seek the beneficent services of Victoria Hospital -hence its title to a national appeal.
