Stray external link
Today I removed this link from the external links of this article, as it was unlabelled, and while it relates to RCH its purpose is unclear relative to the article.  PK T (alk)  12:54, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Credit where credit is due
The article rightfully acknowledges the role of the Royal Engineers. But that acknowledgement obscures the fact that the key individual was Dr John Vernon Seddall, who took a leading role in planning the hospital and was well-loved in the community, as recognized in the tribute to Dr. Seddall written on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the hospital.
