</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>There were many British hospital ships destroyed or damaged by the enemy during the First World War. For example the hosp ship Rohilla was sunk
 near Whitby when sailing from the Firth of Forth to help evacuate wounded troops from Flanders who were evacuated to Dunkirk. Though the four QA sisters 
 were safely rescued on the lifeboats many sick berth attendants died.
</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>The Hospital Ship Gloucester Castle was torpedoed in the English Channel and the Matron, Alice Cashin, was awarded the Royal Red Cross (RRC) for her devotion to her patients and staff. There is more written on the 
 <A href="http://www.qaranc.co.uk/royalredcross.php">Royal Red Cross Medal</A> 
 page.
</DIV>
<BR /><BR /><DIV>2,261,502 wounded men returned to Britain from France aboard hospital ships and 29,000 returned aboard hospital ships from Malta, the Middle East and Africa cited in the book <A target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/014017866X?ie=UTF8&tag=borntoloaf-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=014017866X">The Roses of No Man's Land</A><IMG height="1" border="0" width="1" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=borntoloaf-21&l=as2&o=2&a=014017866X" /> by Lyn MacDonald.
