Royal Pavilion (Indian Military Hospital Gallery)

The magnificent Royal Pavilion served as a military hospital for wounded Indian soldiers from the Western Front between 1914 and 1916, and then for British amputees until 1920. A permanent first-floor gallery tells the remarkable story of how over 2,300 Indian patients were treated here with careful attention to their cultural and religious needs. The story connects directly to the Chattri memorial on the Downs and the Indian Gate in the gardens.
