So definitely Bramshott as the site of the unit being replaced. However, p. 227 of the Official History of the Canadian Medical Services 1939-1945 would suggest that No. 22 C.G.H. took over from No. 2:
Interesting, not sure how to explain that wrinkle.

Re: No. 21 Canadian General Hospital

From another angle, we know that it's 1200 beds and there's this excerpt. Official History of the Canadian Medical Services 1939-1945 Page 101 Authority was then sought from Ottawa for the construction of sufficient huts to expand Taplow to 1000 and Bramshott to 1200 beds. Page 103 An advance party ...

Re: No. 21 Canadian General Hospital

I've been reading that blog note about No. 22 and it's reference to No. 21 all wrong.

My number was K...

Re: No. 21 Canadian General Hospital

This would have been before it moved to Mesnieres en Bray, interesting that they weren't officially, or perhaps just in large numbers, receiving casualties when he was transferred there. Great idea about contacting the Museum of Military Medicine (UK), I'll go ahead and do that. Thanks for having a ...

Re: No. 21 Canadian General Hospital

See the C.A.M.C. official history here: http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dhh-dhp/his/docs/CMS_vol1_e.pdf. Look at pages 235, 265 and 270. Page 544 places No. 2 CGH at Bramshott in May, 1944. Thanks, I've had a look at those volumes previously, the location of No. 21 C.G.H. doesn't seem to be mention...
