Cpl. William Thompson

British Army 3rd (King's Own) Hussars

from:Not known

My grandfather William, ran away from home, added a year to his age, adopted the name "Thompson" and joined the 3rd (King's Own) Hussars in June or July 1913.

At some point in the war, probably about 1917/1918, he was hospitalised in Bristol. There he met my future grandmother, Amy Louisa Goodman. She lived in Westbury on Trym and was a volunteer auxiliary nurse. I imagine she would have worked at a local hospital, either the Southern General or Red Maids.

I am trying to find out when and in which hospital she worked. This information or any other, would give me another very small piece of the jigsaw which is my Grandfather's mysterious life.

Additional Information:

I am doing some research on the history of the Red Maids hospital and would be very interested to know if you have managed to find any more information about this? Particularly if Amy Lousia Goodman was in the Red Maids hospital. If you know anything more I would be very interested!
