Hi Jon

"George Albert Bolland 958487, attached to 167 Squadron , was admitted dangerously ill to Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood on 18 March , where he died of a tumor of the hip with sarcoma of the femur and secondary deposits in the lung"

I suspect he was moved to Northallerton Hospital as that is where his death is registered
