Indian Military Hospital gallery 

From December 1914 to February 1916, the Royal Pavilion was offered for use as a hospital for troops from the Indian Corps wounded on the Western Front in France and Flanders during World War I. Paintings, archive photographs, contemporary accounts and film footage recall in vivid form a remarkable and often forgotten story from Brighton’s history.

Please note the gallery is on the first floor of the Royal Pavilion and is not accessible to wheelchair users.  There will be supplementary information available on the ground floor for visitors not able to visit the gallery.


You can view and download images of the Royal Pavilion and Brighton's other Indian military hospitals on our Image Store.


This short clip courtesy of New Delhi Television gives a brief introduction to the Royal Pavilion's role as an Indian military hospital.
