223312 Pte. Cecil Nicholas Australian Imperial Forces 7th Btn. from:Woodburn, Korrumburra, Victoria I have been doing some research into men from the Korumburra area, Victoria, Australia, and in the course of that research have been in discussion with a lady whose grandfather, Cecil Nicholas, spent time in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, recuperating from wounds received in France. This lady has a photo of a building in which her grandfather spent time. The note on the photo, only recently deciphered, we think is 'Prudhoe, Newcastle-upon-Tyne'. This recent discovery, that of knowing that this man spent time at Newcastle-upon-Tyne is timely as the lady I have been in discussion with is to travel to England in April/May this year. We've found on his papers a note that confirms that he was at the Northern Hospital at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. She would love to be able to discover more of where her grandfather spent time recuperating, so if you are able please to help us with anything that would help us to locate the building that would be wonderful. It might be that you would like a copy of the photo which we can easily provide, and my friend would, I know, be happy to tell you more of her grandfather.
