Welshpool bed plaque
In September 1915, the St John Ambulance Brigade opened a hospital in Étaples to help serve the front line in the First World War. Money to support the hospital came from all around the world. £100 would fund a bed on the ward, and the sponsor's name would be displayed on a plaque like this above the bed head.
