Leone Morgan is conducting the tour on Saturday, April 27 from 1pm-3pm for the Goulburn District Historical and Genealogical Society (History Goulburn), but note - this tour is now full.

Ms Morgan was also one of the main volunteers at the Kenmore Hospital Museum when it was operating on site and has a great knowledge of the hospital, having conducted many tours of the former asylum in the past.

She said the tour would take in the Hospital's War Memorial (opposite the Main Administration Building - but not on its original site).

The memorial is listed on the NSW War Memorial register.

This memorial lists the names of 68 members of staff who served in WWI and WWII.

Ms Morgan said 50 staff from the hospital enlisted in WWI, with 10 not returning.

World War II had 23 staff who enlisted and one who did not return.

"Who were these staff who answered the call for duty?" Ms Morgan asked.

"What were the fields of battle in which they served? What were the hardships and horrors they endured?

"What was happening at Kenmore hospital with the remaining staff during both wars?"

She said From 1942 to 1946, Kenmore Hospital was taken over by the Department of the Army and it became the 114 Australian General Hospital (114 AGH).

"The civilian population was moved to other psychiatric facilities around NSW in what was the largest evacuation of people until the aftermath of Cyclone Tracey (Darwin 1974)," she said.

"As the 114 AGH, Kenmore Hospital treated many Defence Force staff, not just for psychiatric disorders, but also for skin diseases (as a result of fighting in tropical or desert conditions) and general medical and surgical conditions.

"Prisoners of War were also treated at Kenmore Hospital when their POW camps could not provide the treatment required.

"In terms of those admitted with psychiatric conditions as a result of their wartime experiences - some wanted to forget. Some have recounted that Kenmore Hospital possibly saved their lives, some never recovered from the ravages of war - R.G. Sindell (WW1) - who shot dead Nurse Naughton (in 1922) - was one such man."

The Kenmore Hospital Museum closed in 2011. The tour is possible thanks to the current owner's generosity.

Kenmore Hospital's connection with both Great Wars is just one aspect of its history. The Kenmore Hospital Museum closed in 2011.

Thanks to the current owner's generosity, the Goulburn District Historical & Genealogical Society [History Goulburn] has been able to conduct a guided tour of the hospital grounds.

The tour in April is now full but another will be held in November. Contact historygoulburn.events@gmail.com to be emailed later in the year, with details.
