Christmas at Christchurch Hospital

A most successful Christmas was spent at the Christchurch Hospital, thanks to the kindness of friends, and the untiring and capable efforts of the matron and nursing staff. The H.Iv.V.A. gave presents to everybody m the Hospital. Miss Thurston invited Dr. and Mrs. Crooke to dinner m the Nurses' Home, where nearly fifty sat down to a most recherche repast, and feasting and fun was the order of the day. Towards the close of the afternoon, after listening to the Garrison Band, which played m the grounds of the Hospital, all found their way (that could walk, be pushed m chairs, or carried), to the corridor of No. 8 Ward, where stood a huge Christmas tree, covered with gifts, which were soon distributed to the smiling recipients, and so ended a very happy day. — One of the Guests.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 99.74%.
