Those pages linked to this very brief history, which at least gives some general dates:


RAF-lincolnshire.info :: Nocton Hall

Hope that helps a little, (and I'm sure we'd like to see your pictures).

Hmmm, thanks Von Poop! Some interesting stuff there, although it is sad that arsonists are some of the last to leave their "mark" on the place...

Here are some pictures from my grandfather's time there in 1944/1945. I apologize for the quality in advance. I put the thumbnails here as the pictures are quite large but show some good detail when examined up close. I hope you all enjoy these!


The back of this one reads: Main street down to wards at Nocton Hall, England 1944 & 45 (written by my grandfather)


The back reads: Operating room & table ... Nocton Hall England 1945.


The back of the top one reads: Dental Clinic of the 162 ... Hospital taken at Nocton England. 1945.

The bottom one reads: A Surgical ward while making rounds at the 162 ... Hospital. 1944-45.


A picture of my grandfather (he's at the top row, far right) and some friends at a Christian Services Center in Rockford, Illinois. The back reads: This is some of the men I prayed with at the center in Rockford. Something to remember.
