HC Deb 14 November 1916 vol 87 cc569-70
42. Sir H. DALZIEL

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that certain wards at the Leatherhead Military Hospital are in charge of a German doctor named Reichwald; whether, owing to the objection of several soldier patients to being put under a German doctor, he is now always spoken of as Doctor Richie; and whether his father, who was agent for Krupps in England, is now interned?

Mr. FORSTER

This hospital is not a military, but a V.A.D. hospital. The visiting staff of such hospitals are appointed locally and not by the War Office. Dr. Reichwald is a British subject by birth, and is, I understand, known by his own name. His father is not interned.
