Do NOT Send Christmas Cards for Recovering Soldiers to Queen Elizabeth Hospital – Hoax-Slayer

Outline

Circulating message claims that people can send Christmas cards to recovering soldiers in the UK via the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.




Brief Analysis

The information in the message is incorrect and counterproductive. The Queen Elizabeth Hospital does not have such a program operating and has asked that people show their support in alternative ways. In fact, the message is a UK version of another incorrect “Cards for Recovering Soldiers” message that has circulated in the United States for several years. Please review the Detailed Analysis below for more information.

Example

When filling out your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address:
A Recovering Soldier,
c/o Queen Elizabeth Hospital,
[Address removed]
