According to Laidlaw “These medals were struck in the autumn of 1900. The silver medals were presented to members of staff and consulting surgeons, the bronze ones were for the patients who had returned from South Africa on the HMHS Princess of Wales, and white metal ones for patients who had arrived from other locations such as Netley.
The Gables Hospital was owned and financed by Mr Alfred Cooper. It was located in a theater in the grounds of his property and could accommodate about 35 troops. The conversion to a hospital was completed in February 1900 and the first batch of patients, mainly those wounded at Magersfontein or Modder River, was received in March. The hospital was one of several “adjunct” facilities to Her Majesty’s Hospital Ship, HMHS the Princess of Wales, which brought the wounded (200 at a time) back from South Africa. Mr Cooper received a knighthood in 1901 for his philanthropic efforts”.
