World War Two / Re: Location of 108 (Br) General Hospital 1945
« on: Tuesday 15 October 19 21:48 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I am new to this forum and did not think for a moment that someone in the world would be searching for the same information as I am.
My father, Canadian 3rd infantry Division, Régiment de la Chaudière, was wounded on the same day the German informed the Canadians of their intention to capitulate, and this, near Aurich, East Friseland, Germany, on May 3rd 1945. My father was rescued by the medical staff of the 108th British General Hospital, and stayed in the Brussels hospital from May 3rd to May 9 1945. He was then transferred to Bruges (St. Andries), 12th Canadian General Hospital. This hospital was occupied by the Nazie before the liberation of Brussels and Bruges. The Canadian medical team occupied it after. He stayed there until May 30th 1945. I am trying to find information about how the staff and the wounded celebrated the end of ww2. Belgium was liberated, but there were lots of wounded in the the Belgium Hospital and other hospitals. **The building in St-Andries still exists. It is located at 150 Zandstrasse and is a Centre for Illegal Immigrants. The building is very nice.
I will be in Brussels and Bruges in 2020 to visit the surroundings of the two hospital.
