The Indian Hospital

Why was this eccentric building used as a hospital? And why were Indian troops so important to the British war effort at this time? This talk will look at the political aspects of the Pavilion hospital, and explore how the seaside folly of a disreputable monarch came to be used as a symbol of the benevolence and understanding of the British Empire. Followed by question and answer session.
