| The Canadian General Hospital (CGH) category includes eight stationary hospitals, smaller than general hospitals and originally set up as resting places on the line for casualties on their way back to base. Given the short lines of communications, they became small general hospitals. Some hospitals operated at various locations; in these cases the maximum capacity at the location where that maximum occurred was mapped. There are three exceptions where the maximum capacity was at Salonica, but the hospitals appear on the map in locations in England (Basingstoke, Hastings, and Liverpool) to which they were transferred in 1917 and 1918. Hospitals in Europe outside the map area: in Britain, Buxton (2 special), Kirkdale (1 CGH), Liverpool (1 CGH), Matlock Bath (1 convalescent); in France, Joinville (1 CGH), Champagnoles (1 Forestry Corps Hospital, FCH), La Joux/Jura (1 FCH), Gerardmer/Vosges (1 FCH). |
