interesting (for me in particular) to see that he was hospitalised in Campbell College. Campbell was a boarding school whose boarding fraternity was evacuated to Portrush when the school was converted to a military hospital. The school itself was damaged during a bombing raid while under military hospital control.
The school was evacuated in 1940 and the buildings at the Belmont campus became Number 24 (London) General Hospital.
The Schools Changing Rooms became Operating Theatres and X-Ray Rooms.
Baths were installed in the Classrooms and over 34000 Servicemen were treated here by October 1945.
On the night of 4th/5th May 1941 the Hospital was bombed and 19 Doctors and Patients were killed.
It was my school in the 1970s, hence my interest!
The "UJ" probably therefore does refer to "unavoidable journey" to return to his unit.
