Notes

1. Christina is describing the military hospital complex at Le Tréport. The luxurious Trianon Hotel was converted into a hospital, and numerous tents and huts were erected in the surrounding grounds.

2. The provision of hostels like this was one of the most significant yet little-remembered services provided by the YMCA during the war. Relatives of the dangerously wounded were able to visit their loved ones free of charge.

3. These directions would take Christina to the original military cemetery at Le Tréport, beside the civilian cemetery, and here she would find her ‘Scotch soldiers’. The cemetery she had visited on the previous day was Mount Huon Cemetery, which lies high on the cliff tops. It was created beside the military hospital as the original cemetery could no longer cope with the vast numbers of deaths taking place here.
