My mother, Laura Chapman, was working at the Salutation in Sandwich at the end of the war. I have been trying to find out who else might have been there, but of course there are no electoral rolls for the war years. Strangely, The Salutation [built 1911] does not re-appear on electoral rolls until 1949. I am wondering if the building was commandered for military use during the war. Does anyone have any information or suggestions?

The Salutation, Knightrider Street, Sandwich, Kent, CT13 9EW

The Salutation is something rather unusual. Filling the gap between Hotel and Bed & Breakfast, the accommodation allows you to enjoy the luxury and comfort of a 5 Star Hotel, whilst at the same time allowing you the comfort and privacy of a private home.

Each room is fitted as one would expect, with Sky TV, Safe along with one or two further luxuries. The beds are all furnished with Duck Down duvets, pillows and feather toppers, giving the sensation of sleeping on a cloud.
