CHRISTMAS AT WAR

World War 1, World War One, First World War, The Great WarA reader who wishes to remain anonymous - how mysterious - has sent this seasonal item. It is a photograph taken at Christmas circa 1916, during World War 1, at "a Rhyl hospital".

It could be the Royal Alexandra Hospital but is far more likely to be the temporary Red Cross hospital at the Men's Convalescent Institution in Bedford Street.

Does anybody know for sure? Please get in touch: rhyl.colin.jones@live.co.uk
