This hospital was set up in the early days of the First World War for the reception of wounded soldiers. It was one of the first auxiliary hospitals to be established under the auspices of the Voluntary Aid Detatchment of the British Red Cross. There is a history of the hospital by 'The Commandant' (C J S Thompson): "The Story of 'Holmleigh' Auxiliary Military Hospital, Harrow-on-the-Hill, 1914-1919".

Charles John S. Thompson (d.1943) was the first Curator of the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum and the author of numerous works on medical history. See Who Was Who Vol IV for details of his career.

These volumes were received from the family of C J S Thompson, and transferred from the Wellcome Institute Library to the Contemporary Medical Archives Centre in 1980.
