is there a doctor in the house?
I believe that No 3 Canadian Stationary Hospital was at Malassise, although it is not listed in the hospitals list elsewhere on this site. Can anyone confirm this, and also confirm that the MALASSISE in question is the one that is more or less a western suburb of St Omer. With the aid of google earth and a 1916 map I might convince myself that the only plausible site is the monastery of St Joseph - which now appears to be a large private college. Any assistance gratefuly received.

Is this of any help?

No.3, Canadian Stationary Hospital, transferred from the M.E.F. (400 beds) opened at Boulogne on 10.4.16., with Matron E. M. Wilson, C.A.M.C. in charge. This unit moved from the Lines of Communication to the 5th Army in December 1916, and re-opened at the Citadel, Doullens. At first only 17 of the Nursing Staff rejoined, but later it was found necessary to have the complete staff as the unit had 800 beds.

Those responsible for providing care to the wounded and sick also risked their lives. On May 19, 1918, the No. 1 Canadian General Hospital was bombed during a two-hour air raid at Etaples, France. Some of the buildings were levelled, while others caught fire. The casualties amounted to 66 people killed and 73 wounded. Most of the victims were hospital staff - three of the dead were nursing sisters. Ten days later, the No. 3 Canadian Stationary Hospital at Doullens, France, was hit by bombs and it, too, caught fire. Eleven patients, two medical officers, three nursing sisters, and 16 other ranks (including orderlies) were killed; 16 were wounded. Only weeks later, tragedy struck anew when the hospital ship Llandovery Castle, one of five ambulance transports assigned to the Canadian service, was sunk. It had finished delivering 644 patients to Halifax on June 17 and on June 27 was torpedoed off the coast of Ireland. The toll was 234 lives lost including all 14 of the nursing sisters aboard and 77 other CAMC personnel. Only 24 of the ship's passengers survived.

many thanks. step in the right direction. what is the source? what i am really following is medical support for RAF personnel at St Omer in the period immediately after the armistice. Death rates from accident rise after the armistice - I suspect because medical services are run down faster than personnel.
many thanks

To be honest I was looking for another hospital and was 'googling'! I also found a painting of the hospital, it looks very much like a monastery.
