The
Carmichael Family - those who went to war 4
While
most of the grounds were given over to these sporting activities, a hen house
and some allotments could also be found in the grounds. Henry's days would have
been busy keeping the cycle course, running track and the rest of the grounds
in the excellent condition he was noted for. An entry in the 'Notes and News'
section of The Hydra, the hospital magazine states that the Craiglockhart
War Hospital's Officers held an Agriculture, Gardening and Poultry rearing club.
There can be little doubt that as Head Gardener, Henry Carmichael would have
been involved in assisting the officers with this enterprise.
