The buildings of what was then Oldmill poorhouse were incorporated into the 1st Scottish General Hospital, one of four Territorial Force military hospitals established in the First World War in Scotland. The buildings of four Board schools were also used by the hospital (the Central School (later Aberdeen Academy); the Girl's High School (Now Harlaw Academy); Rosemount; and Westfield), as well as in huts and tents.
The hospital provided beds for 34 officers and 1,385 other ranks.
