Bailey H H B Hospital Orderly
British Red Cross


Horace Hugh Beresford Bailey (Compositor) had served for 5 years (1908-1912) in the Territorial Force before the war. His low medical category prevented him from joining the colours on the outbreak of war, but in August 1915 he became a Hospital Orderly under the British Red Cross Society. He served first in No. XI Ambulance Train, and was transferred to Boulogne in January 1916; later in the same year he was transferred to No. 2 Red Cross Hospital, Rouen, where he remained until the end of 1918. From January to March 1919 he was at the Star and Garter Hospital, Richmond.
