One of the ARC hospitals in London, "Baroda House," which is being used exclusively for orthopedic cases. The word "hospital" associated as it is with sickness and suffering is a misnomer here, and the atmosphere is wholly unlike that of the ordinary hospital. The patients are army officers long since discharged from the surgical hospitals and now undergoing treatment designed to restore injured members to proper functions and use. The house was donated by A Dhoster Beatty, a wealthy American mining Engineer. He is seen standing on the bottom step with the Chief Nurse, Miss M.J. Hay of N.Y. the secretary, Miss Lillian Thornton, and three of the patients
