Conjointly With The Northampton General Hospital

A vision of the Fine Memorial this can be with your help

To those who freely served the common cause,
In garb of blue or khaki battle-dress
To civil guards before our hearth and home,
To those who suffered through the years of stress:
To all – in grateful memory. R.W.N.

A fine building, surrounded by acres of charming grounds peaceful, healthful, and beautifully equipped............ what better can we aim at for Rushden ?...................

Easy to visit, for friend and relative, in Rushden.

Every modern hospital care, except actual surgical.

The finest and the most cheerful of modern design in interior decoration..............

the entrance hall and the hospital was renamed as Rushden Memorial Hospital.
In the 1980s the names were eventually inscribed on the main War Memorial.
