The Shoeburyness Military Hospital in Essex, with members of the St John Ambulance Brigade's Guildford Ambulance Division
The military hospital at Shoeburyness, Essex, was a state-of-the-art hospital that opened in 1856. At the time, it was likely the most advanced barrack hospital, with general wards, a large internal kitchen, and provision for isolation cases. It is believed that Florence Nightingale inspected it shortly after it was opened.
