"In a Gibralter Underground Hospital" When most of the civilian population of Gibralter was evacuated, a hospital was established in one of the air raid shelters cut into the solid rock. It is constantly being added to and is ready for any eventuality. The work of excavation is being done by Civilian engineers, leaving the Royal Engineers to concentrate on defence works. This image shows skilled civilian workmen of the new City Council's staff engaged in construction of a new ward of the hospital. Officer Commanding Hospital and Nursing Staff look on.
