Posted by victoria ewart on August 2, 2008 #47954 My great grandfather was Dr David Watt Torrance, known as the Galilee Doctor, who founded the hospital. An internet search on him will lead you to other photographs and information about Palestine, Tiberias and the hospital, held now in the archives at Dundee university, called the Torrance collection. In picture 9833, in the middle is a nurse with a nurse؟s cap and below her to her left is Uncle Herbert, Lydia and Julia؟s father, the brother of my Grandmother, Marjorie. Below him and to his left is Aunt Gladys, Herbert؟s second wife. Picture 8585 is old and in the middle is the main hospital and to it؟s left, is I think the maternity hospital. There are photos taken from here of Auntie Irma, Julia and Lydia؟s mother who died in Shanghai on a round the world trip. Lydia took many of the photographs. I hope this is helpful. Wishing you well with your project.
