Manchester United: Thanks also from across the big pond.  The list of scanned books and articles is very helpful in my ongoing long term research into the history of shellshock in the CEF.
Thanks again,

At 301 posts Mr Terrier is just into Skindles, though! As has been said, a very useful series of online links from him over the past few days. I'll have a large Scapa, no ice, on your new Skindles bar tab thanks Baz.

Thanks for the thanks chaps, see you at the bar for a chota peg!

As to Manchester United.....the less said the better!

John Gilinsky, in my wanderings round the IA, I came across a copy of "The Psychoneuroses of War" by Roussy and Lhermitte.

Possibly interesting to your research is the "acceptance stamp" on the flyleaf here

No4 Canadian General Hospital Basingstoke, Registrar's Office, Mar 21 1919.

Now a quick google turns up this information

No.4 General Hospital with Colonel J. A. Roberts in command embarked at Devonport October 18, 1915 for Salonika, arriving at its destination November 9. A hospital with a capacity of 1,040 beds was erected on the Monastir Road, four miles outside of the city. In May, 1916, the hospital was transferred to the east side of the city to Kalmnaria site. In this position huts were provided, with a bed capacity of 1,040, which was increased to 1,540 in July, 1916, and to 2,000 in June, 1917. The unit operated until August 17, 1917, when it handed over to an English hospital, and proceeded in two sections to England. It reassembled at Basingstoke, on October 24, and took over the new hospital there, which became known as No.4 Canadian General Hospital.

The original bed capacity of this hospital was 1,040, which was raised to 1,540 in September, 1918, and to 1,840 in October. The hospital closed June, 1919, and sailed for Canada July 2, 1919.

This website has a brief history of  the Basingstoke site Park Prewett Hospital

In WW2 the same site was used as a nuerological and plastic surgery hospital.
