context_page_description: The No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital was a World War I military hospital in Walton-on-Thames, England. The hospital opened in 1915 in the requisitioned 15th century Mount Felix estate, and closed in 1920.
  It was the first hospital in the United Kingdom used specifically for soldiers of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. In 1916 a new hospital was built in Hampshire and Mount Felix was renamed to be hospital number two. Approximately 27,000 New Zealand soldiers were treated at the hospital during the war. The hospital was memorialised by the Mount Felix Tapestry which toured New Zealand in 2018 and 2019.
  The main building was demolished in 1967 except for the clock tower and stable block that still stand and are grade II listed buildings.
  '2 General Hospital' was a unit of the New Zealand Medical Corps. The unit was re-raised in World War II and served with the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force in Egypt, the Western Desert, Tunisia, and Italy. The unit is now called '2 Field Hospital'.
