The First Eastern General Hospital (1914–1919) from its inception at the Leys School, its growth and establishment at Trinity College Cambridge and then its further move to the cricket grounds of King’s College and Clare College (now the site of the University Library), exemplifies the determination and desire of Cambridge University to contribute to the humanitarian effort during World War I. It is also a prime example of the sheer sacrifice and altruism of the medical profession across its ranks to offer its services in times of need. From its day of mobilisation on 5 August and its first patient admission on 16 August 1914 through 30 June 1918, the last month for which hospital data exist, the First Eastern General Hospital admitted 62,664 patients from Home, Expeditionary, Belgian and Mediterranean Forces. In the last month alone, it admitted more than 2000 personnel. By its closure, there were only 437 deaths, a mortality rate of 0.69 per cent. It paved the way for Auxiliary Hospitals to which 2500 of its patients were transferred. Both Barnwell and Cherry Hinton Military Hospitals, set up to care for venereal disease patients, sprang from the First Eastern General and followed its organisation and staff arrangements after the parent closed.

剑桥皇家陆军医疗队的第一东部总医院(1914-1919)

东部第一总医院(1914-1919)从在莱斯学校成立,在剑桥三一学院成长和建立,然后进一步搬到国王学院和克莱尔学院的板球场(现为大学图书馆所在地) ,体现了剑桥大学在第一次世界大战期间为人道主义努力做出贡献的决心和愿望。这也是医疗行业在需要时提供服务的纯粹牺牲和利他主义的典型例子。从 8 月 5 日动员之日到 1914 年 8 月 16 日首次患者入院到 1918 年 6 月 30 日(有医院数据的最后一个月),第一东部总医院收治了来自本土、远征、比利时和地中海部队的 62,664 名患者。仅在上个月,它接纳了2000多名人员。到关闭时,只有 437 人死亡,死亡率为 0.69%。它为辅助医院铺平了道路,有 2500 名患者被转移到辅助医院。Barnwell 和 Cherry Hinton 军事医院都是为照顾性病患者而设立的,它们都来自第一东方将军,并在父母关闭后遵循其组织和人员安排。
