Biographical note

A new class of patient, the Service Patient, was established during the First World War after an agreement was made with the War Office to admit these patients at a fixed rate of board into the Third Department of Crichton Royal Institution, with their board being paid by the Ministry of Pensions. These patients were Soldiers and Sailors who had served during the First World War and had been admitted to an asylum due to mental illness caused or aggravated by their period of service. This scheme was later extended to Officers, with the Ministry of Pensions paying a higher fixed rate of board for their admission into the First Department of the Hospital. Patients continued to be classified as Service Patients during the interwar years and the Second World War.
