I give thanks to all the responses on 'sunnyside house' (maybe I'm not the
only crazy Dickson!)
I however now do wonder when that hospital was founded because I think that
I am looking at a family home named 'sunnyside' pre 1900.
My DICKSON ancestors left Scotland about 1903.
Here is the info about that location.

Alan James DICKSON
Lieutenant, Highland Light Infantry
Died on Saturday, 14th November 1914. Age 22.
Son of Mr. Patrick and Mrs. R. I. Dickson, of Sunnyside House, Montrose.
Native of Laurencekirk, Kincardineshire.
YPRES (MENIN GATE) MEMORIAL, Ieper, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium - Panel Number:
38

Does anyone have a web site on this hospital?

New Zealand.
