Summary
[edit]DescriptionCanadian Corner, Orpington Cemetery - geograph.org.uk - 1579915.jpg |
English: Canadian Corner, Orpington Cemetery During the First World War, Orpington was the home of what was first known as the Ontario Military Hospital, before becoming No 16 Canadian General Hospital in September 1917. At the time it was said to be one of the largest and most up to date military hospitals in the world. The hospital ceased to be a specific military hospital in September 1919, although the site is still in part used for the current Orpington Hospital.
A small section of the Orpington Cemetery was set aside for burials from the hospital, resulting in this small scale military cemetery, known as Canadian Corner. Most of the graves are of commonwealth soldiers, predominantly Canadian. This photo was taken the day after Armistice Day 2009, with a simple cross and poppy placed by each stone. |
