An Appeal on behalf of THE HERTFORD BRITISH HOSPITAL, Paris, by The Rt. Hon. Lord TYRRELL of AVON, G.C.B.,
G.C.M.G., K.C.V.O. The Hertford Hospital in Paris was founded in 1879 by the late Sir Richard Wallace and named by him in memory of his kinsman, the late Marquess of Hertford. It has rendered incalculable service to many thousands of British people in Paris or Northern France; during the last ten years it has had nearly 6,000 in-patients and more than 66,000 out-patients. More than 1,200 babies have been born of British mothers in the hospital.
During the Great War the Hertford
British Hospital became a Military Hospital and hundreds of our sick and wounded men owed their lives to the skill and devotion of the staff.
Sir Richard Wallace endowed the Hospital, but as its funds are invested in British securities, the drop in the exchange value of the pound has reduced its income by some £8,000 a year. During the five years he was Ambassador in Paris Lord Tyrrell was President of the Hospital, so he can speak from an intimate knowledge of its work.
