The extensions to the hospital at Wal-ton-on-Thames, which will accommodate 200 more men, are almost completed, and have been inspected by the War Office authorities, who have expressed the greatest satisfaction with them (writes a London correspondent). One of the four wards (which hold fifty each) is now furnished, and looks most comfortable and "homey."
