Soldiers Carry Patients to Safety
THRILLS AT WINDSOR
FAMOUS HOSPITAL GUTTED (United P. A..—By Telegraph Copyright.) Reed. 9.20 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. All available Lifeguards and Footguards of the Windsor Garrison were mobilised when the King Edward VII. Hospital, which King Edward opened in 1909, caught fire. The troops tackled the task of moving every patient with wonderful efficiency. The giant Lifeguards plunged into the smoke, and brought out in all over a hundred patients, either in arms or on stretchers. Other troops stripped the wards of beds and other important furniture, enabling every r-utient to be installed at the barracks while the fire still burned. Two wings were gutted and the main building damaged.
