Australian Voluntary Hospital

The Australian Voluntary Hospital was a military hospital staffed by Australian expatriates in England that served on the Western Front between 1914 and 1916. For much of this time it was the only Australian presence on the Western Front.
==Origin==
When the First World War broke out in August 1914, Lady (Rachel) Dudley, the wife of the former Governor-General of Australia, the Lord Dudley, decided to create a hospital from Australian doctors and nurses who were in the United Kingdom. There were relatively large numbers of these; while doctors and nurses could be trained in Australia, advanced qualifications still required a trip overseas.〔
Lady Dudley discussed her proposal with King George V, and then with the Secretary of State for War, Lord Kitchener, and the British Army's Director General Army Medical Services, Sir Arthur Sloggett, who authorised the hospital. The hospital was formally offered to the British government by the Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Sir George Reid on 15 August 1914.〔''The History of the Australian Voluntary Hospital'', manuscript, pp. 1–7, Australian War Memorial: 1 DRL 667 12/11/1147〕 Volunteers responded to advertisements that Lady Dudley placed in English newspapers on 17 August 1914. Women doctors were not accepted, but women nurses were welcomed.
The Australian Voluntary Hospital was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel William L'Estrange Eames , an officer in the Australian Army Medical Corps who had served in the South African War, and was holidaying in England with his family at the time. He was unable to join the First Australian Imperial Force (AIF), which was not accepting enlistments outside Australia. He was granted the temporary rank of lieutenant colonel in the Royal Army Medical Corps. Ida Greaves , from Royal Newcastle Hospital was appointed matron. The hospital soon reached a strength of 120 staff, of whom 36 were nurses.〔
