Today I removed this link from the external links of this article, as it was unlabelled, and while it relates to RCH its purpose is unclear relative to the article. PKT(alk) 12:54, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The article rightfully acknowledges the role of the Royal Engineers. But that acknowledgement obscures the fact that the key individual was Dr John Vernon Seddall, who took a leading role in planning the hospital and was well-loved in the community, as recognized in the tribute to Dr. Seddall written on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the hospital.
