The Military Wing opened on the 21 October 1964 (cited in the book Sub Cruce Candida: A Celebration of One Hundred Years of Army Nursing  ).
Musgrave Park Hospital is a general hospital and also specialises in sports medicine, rehabilitation, orthopaedics and rheumatology.
For decades there was a military unit run by the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) and the QAs. This provided emergency care and long term care for members of the British Army. Musgrave Park Hospital BombingAt the height of the IRA troubles in Northern Ireland (NI) the RAMC unit was bombed by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) on the 2 November 1991 at approximately 2:35pm. The unit was busier than normal because some off duty staff were watching the Rugby World Cup Final. The bomb killed one member of the RAMC (WO2 Philip Arthur Cross) and one member of the RCT (Driver Craig Pantry) and injured 9 members of the Army Medical Services (AMS), a five year old girl and a four month old baby. The bomb contained 20 lb of Semtex which exploded in a service tunnel which connected the Withers block to the RAMC Ward. The Withers block housed the children’s ward and the orthopaedic ward. There is a photo of the bombed building in the book Sub Cruce Candida: A Celebration of One Hundred Years of Army Nursing
which was taken by Soldier Magazine.
A commemorative stone was laid on 19 June 1998 by the staff of The Duke of Connaught Unit, Musgrave Park Hospital in memory of WO2 P Cross (RAMC) and Dvr C Pantry (RCT).
