Service held in the grounds of Fulbourn Hospital
4th December 2025
The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) ArmedForcesNetwork came together at the Fulbourn Hospital site to honour Private John E. Gibbons,
a First World War soldier who passed away on this day in 1918.
Private Gibbons was transferred to Fulbourn Hospital on 2 December 1918, but sadly died only two days after admission. His Commonwealth War Graves Commission headstone still stands here on the hospital grounds, a quiet reminder of his service and of the many others who served and now rest without recognition.
The newest Armed Forces Network member, Rory Butler, a former RAF Regiment soldier, laid a wreath on behalf of the Network, representing their continued commitment to honouring and supporting those who serve. The wreath joined two which were placed on Remembrance Day, including one from our branch.
