VISCOUNT FRENCH AND WOUNDED. Field-Marshal Viscount French paid a visit yesterday afternoon to the 3rd London General Hospital, Wandsworth Common, where a large number of Australian soldiers from Gallipoli as well as men from France are recovering. Almost all the wards were inspected by Lord French, who chatted freely to the soldiers and thanked the nurses for the splendid work which they were doing. When he entered the hall, where convalescent soldiers were enjoying a concert, he was immediately recognised and lustily cheered. In a short address he said that the men in France watched with keen interest and admiration the magnificent landing made at the Dardanelles and the heroic deeds which followed.
