The internal plaque

THE RUTLAND COUNTY HOSPITAL
OPENED 1924
ERECTED TO THE HONOURED
AND LOVED MEMORY OF THE MEN
WHO IN THE TERRIBLE YEARS OF WAR
1914 - 1918
GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY
AND THEIR SOULS TO GOD
The Hospital

Today it is called the Rutland Memorial Hospital and it remains a much appreciated service to the community.

It is interesting to see that when it was being built it was:

The Rutland Memorial Cottage Hospital

when it was opened it had become:

The Rutland County Hospital.


There does not appear to be an on-site record of the men in whose memory it was dedicated but for once the dedication refers to " the terrible years of war"
