I have a postcard that my father sent to his mother in 1926 when he was 12 years old having just had one of about 100 operations in his life for polio. He was in Ward 6 at the time being a sort of guine pig sadly. Does anyone out there know if Ward 6 referred to the wards named please?
My brother, Glynne, was on this ward for 12 months after a motor cycle accident. Proffesor Roaf was the surgeon who carried out the operation.
