The 2nd Northern General Hospital was situated at Beckett's Park Hospital in Leeds, Yorkshire. The teacher training college at Beckett's Park, Leeds was built in 1913. During the First World War it was converted to a military hospital. It was officially called the 2nd Northern General Hospital but was more commonly referred to as Beckett's Park Hospital. There were 60 Officer beds, 2039 Other Ranks beds and the hospital treated 57,200 soldiers between 1914 and 1918. The hospital was gradually returned to educational use until WW2 when it was used to treat the Dunkirk wounded.

Surg. H. S. Carter 2nd Northern General Hospital Royal Army Medical Corps
I am trying to gather information about a surgeon called HS Carter, who worked in the 2nd Northern General Hospital, Leeds, during the first world war and submitted a thesis for the degree of MD, to the Leeds University, in 1922. His field of interest was Causalgia.
The original article states "The work has been carried out at the 2nd Northern General Hospital, now the Ministry of Pensions Hospital, Leeds".Do you know whether these were the same? I am conducting research into the history of Causalgia, and would be interested in any information about Mr Carter and the two hospitals mentioned. Thank you Kind regards
