No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital

The No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital was a World War I military hospital in Walton-on-Thames (1915–1920). The hospital was located in the requisitioned 15th century Mount Felix estate. It was the first hospital in the United Kingdom used specifically for New Zealand soldiers. In 1916 a new hospital was built in Hampshire and Mount Felix was renamed to be hospital number two. Approximately 27,000 New Zealand soldiers were treated at the hospital during the war. The hospital has been memorialised by the creation of the 44 panel Mount Felix Tapestry.
