exif: {"Image ImageDescription": "History\n\nThe Cambridge Military Hospital, built by Messrs Martin Wells and Co. of Aldershot, was located at Stanhope Lines. It was named after Prince George, Duke of Cambridge and opened on 18 July 1879. In the First World War, the Cambridge Hospital was the first base hospital to receive casualties directly from the Western Front. The Cambridge Hospital was also the first place where plastic surgery was performed in the British Empire. Captain Gillies (later Sir Harold Gillies), met Hippolyte Morestin, while on leave in Paris in 1915. Morestin was reconstructing faces in the Val-de-Grace Hospital in Paris. Gillies fell in love with the work, and at the end of 1915 was sent back from France to start a Plastic Unit in the Cambridge Hospital.\n\nAfter the Second World War, with the decline in importance of Britain's military commitments, civilians were admitted to the hospital. It pioneered the supply of portable operating theatres and supplies for frontline duties. The hospital also contained the Army Chest Unit. It was closed on 2 February 1996 due to the high cost of running the old building as well as the discovery of asbestos in the walls.\n\nOur Visit\n\nVisited with Mr Bones, Chris and Laura. Successful day out! Quite a road trip down there but very much worth it. We did the Maternity ward and Mortuary only this time but there was plenty to see between those 2. Fave bits have to be the operating theatre (unfortunately without table) and the multiple examination rooms.", "Image XResolution": "240", "Image YResolution": "240", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.0 (Windows)", "Image DateTime": "2013:02:18 00:03:32", "Image Artist": "Ben Tucker", "Image Copyright": "All Rights Reserved All Copyright Ben Tucker - PROJ3CTM4YH3M 2012", "Image ExifOffset": "1768", "Thumbnail Compression": "JPEG (old-style)", "Thumbnail XResolution": "240", "Thumbnail YResolution": "240", "Thumbnail ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormat": "1912", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormatLength": "16698", "EXIF ExifVersion": "", "EXIF DateTimeOriginal": "2013:02:16 12:07:22"}
