Welcome to GR and the Boards Peter.

Its unlikely that you'd find a hospital list, but you may find an individual man's record. That might show if he had been admitted to hospital.

Various subscription sites carry Army records. You could search using the mans name on the National Archive site, then either pay to down load or if directed to another site, ask on here for a subscriber to look on your behalf.

Does anyone know where I can look to find the names of British soldiers who were hospitalised in South Africa during the Boar War of 1899 to 1902 please
