**From notes in the Australian Archives regarding 34 Welsh General Hospital in Deolali : Sister Alma L. Bennett, Matron in 1917, said: ‘containing 3000 beds – 4 hrs train journey from Bombay'. ... Our cases were all from Mesopotamia – some direct – others individually coming from various Bombay Hospitals… We also had 200 Turkish Prisoners of War, almost all Surgical cases, some with shocking wounds – septic.’ Matron Gertrude Davis said: ‘When we became a P. of W. hospital our number of beds was increased to 700, 200 for British and 500 for prisoners as later we had the German prisoners from East Africa also an occasional one from Mespot’. <ref> Great War Forum [http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=112227&p=2022171 post] by 'KateH' dated 23 January 2014, part of a thread 'Concentration Camp Deolali'</ref>

However, this section was removed from his Army service record, perhaps because of the stigma attached to mental illness at the time. ancestry.co.uk
