About the memorial: Originally it was founded in 1902 as the East Ham Hospital, a voluntary cottage hospital with 20 beds. During WW1 it became an army hospital. Following the War an appeal was launched in 1919 to raise funds to build a general hospital as a memorial to those local servicemen who had died during WW1. A new 2-storey Hospital building, consisting of three blocks, was erected on an adjoining site and officially opened by Queen Mary in 1929. Renamed the East Ham Memorial Hospital, it had 100 beds - 80 in the new building and 20 in the former hospital, which was converted into children's wards.
