Description

In early October 1914, Bruges was still unoccupied. The city was an important centre for the care of the wounded. In addition to the military hospital in Peterseliestraat, monasteries, schools and even hotels were turned into emergency hospitals.

During the occupation, many of the German wounded were transferred to Bruges, where they ended up in one of the Kriegslazarette, or war hospitals: in the Teacher Training College (Sint-Jorisstraat), the Minnewater Clinic (Prof. Dr. J. Sebrechtsstraat) and the Military Hospital (Peterseliestraat). The latter moved in 1917 to the hospital here in Sint-Michiels because of Allied air raids.

After the liberation, various military (field) hospitals moved to the city centre. At the Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Institute, a team of the Military Hospital Cabour (Adinkerke) set to work. Incidentally, the Belgian soldiers who died there mainly succumbed to the effects of the Spanish flu.
