The hospital was built on the north eastern part of RAF Cosford, separated from the main technical site by the A41.

[2] Originally, the station sick quarters, consisted of several wards, were built as a series of huts on the north western corner of Fulton Block on the main site.

Between 1943 and 1945, a total of 1,128 dental patients were treated ranging from impacted wisdom teeth and cysts, to fractured jaws.

[9] Apart from in the depths of winter, extra facilities were pressed into action on the concreted areas outside of the main hospital, with temporary lighting and heating provided.

[13] The PRC was set up to process returning Air Force Prisoners of War (PoW) from the European and Far East Theatres.

[16] Due to the volume of returning PoWs, extra flights were laid on to other RAF stations; Dunsfold, Ford, Hixon, Oakley, Odiham, Seighford, Westcott and Wing, and all Royal Air Force personnel would be taken to Cosford.
