Biographical history

Fulham Infirmary began life as the Fulham Union Infirmary in 1884 and was based in St Dunstan's Road. At the beginning of World War One, wounded soldiers from the Ypres battleground were brought to Fulham. In 1915 the War Office took over the workhouse and Infirmary - as it did with several other Poor Law institutions - and they became the Fulham Military Hospital. In 1925 it was renamed St Christopher's Hospital but one month later the decision was reversed and the name became 'Fulham Hospital' (not to be confused with the Fulham Hospital in Seagrave Road, which had become the Western Fever Hospital in 1885).
