My brother was also born in that Hospital in 1949. I fondly remember some of the QARNNS Sisters at that fine establishment when serving as a Sub-lieutenant aboard HMS Tiger in the early 60s. I remember how very friendly the people were and indeed the RN at the time had lots of sailors from the Island.
I have thought about going back but suspect the Gut in Veletta has long since been gentrified and the Galvanised Donkey long since closed.
