Hi,

I am trying to find any information on the REHABILITATION HOSPITALS in
Ireland that were used to help the injured soldiers returning from the
Boer War, 1899 - 1902.

My gfather, PATRICK CONNOR, was supposedly spent some time in a
rehabilitation hospital, upon his return from South Africa, in CORK (I
don't know if this was the city of Cork or County Cork). According to
my Father, the rehab hospital where my gfather was staying was a mansion
that was used by the British Army as a hospital. My gmother, ANNE
KENNEDY, was a nurse at the rehab hospital that my gfather was sent to -
that is where they met. Once my gfather was released from the rehab
hospital, they were married.

I would be very grateful for any ideas from anyone as to where I go to
find information on the rehab hospitals.

Many thanks in advance,
Susan
