Description
Corporal Alec Riley's diary chronicles his experiences in a British military hospital during World War I. After being evacuated from Gallipoli, Riley was treated at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley, where he spent 11 months recovering from his wounds. His diary offers a unique glimpse into life in a military hospital, describing the patients, medical staff, and daily routines. Riley's account is marked by dry humour, as he recounts the small mischiefs between convalescents and medical staff. The diary also covers his time at the No. 1 Australian Stationary Hospital at Mudros and his passage home on the hospital ship Aquitania. With its candid and often humorous tone, this diary provides a fascinating insight into the lives of those affected by war. Netley Diary 1915-1916 is a personal and historical account of one man's experience in a military hospital during World War I.
