The photograph shows a part of the baseball grounds at the new Portsmouth base hospital. It is said to be the finest baseball diamond in England

The Americans have brought many new ideas to England. Here is something different in hospital construction. The new buildings at the ARC hospital at Mossley Hill, Liverpool, have higher roofs and much more air space than is usual in hospital construction in England, and there is a certain novelty in the way the wooden trusses under the roof are constructed which makes the big rooms look far less bare then the wards of the old-fashioned hospitals. Everything is painted in shining white enamel, and the halls have a cheerful freshness which the soldiers like. The picture is of the mess-hall, one of the twenty buildings of the rapidly-growing hospital
Red Cross baseball Somewhere-in-England. If there is anything the men in hospitals would rather see than a good baseball game, it has yet to be found.

American ward at the Fourth Scottish General Hospital in Glasgow. Most of the patients are influenza cases from incoming convoys. The Red Cross has a staff of American officers and women visitors who look after their welfare, and there is a large warehouse full of comforts and luxuries for the boys
The hospital farm at the American Military hospital at Portsmouth England, includes about an acre of greenhouses, where the patients are growing tomatoes, cucumbers, and a number of delicacies for the hospital kitchens. Close by are the flower gardens, not much ground for these in war time, but there will be quite a fine line of early spring blooms as a result of work the patients are putting in here during the fall and winter. In southern England, gardening goes on about the same in winter, for there is no snow here, and they play baseball on the hospital diamond in January the same as June
King and Queen of England inspect Red Cross activities at the American hospital, Dartford, near London. The king couldn't wait until he got inside a ward to talk with the wounded. On his way to the first of the wards he notices a row of wounded cots out doors, whom the Brooklyn nurses had brought out so that they might enjoy the warm autumn sunshine. The King led the Queen and the Princess Mary over among these. The Queen showed much interest in the nurses as well as the wounded men and asked them many questions about their work. The photograph shows the King talking with Colonel E.H. Fiske of Brooklyn, commander of the hospital. Princess Mary is visible just behind the Queen, and near her the Chief Nurse, Miss Annie Mack of Brooklyn
One of the most splendid and comfortable of the big American hospitals in England, the Portsmouth Base Hospital, designed for about 2500 men. This is the lawn of one of the large ward buildings.
