Percy Pritchard with other soldiers in Hospital Malta 1915
Two hospitals are mentioned in the pages of this album. One is the Mandel Hospital and the other is called the Entente Hospital. Malta was neutral in WW1 and was effectively turned into a massive hospital, initially for the thousands of wounded from the Dardanelles campaign. Many of the casualties were from the Anzac divisions. There is a record of one Australian soldier who seems to have spent much of the war in and out of hospital - anzacheroes.com.au/anzac_heroes/woodcock-leslie-norman . There is a more general account of the hospitals on the island in a Google book. The link is far too long to paste here, but if you search for Entente Hospital Malta, you should be able to find it.
Having worked my way to the back of this album, I now know that he spent about five months pinned down in trenches in the Battle of Sulva Bay. Along with many others he suffered from frostbite and was evacuated to Malta. 53,000 died at Sulva Bay and 130,000 were evacuated sick or wounded. In Percy's words - "All for nothing"
