I have an old book, The Nations at War, published in 1917 in America about the ongoing Great War. It has a photo of "wounded soldiers in the American hospital at Saignton, (sic) England". Two questions: was there a war hospital in Saighton during the Great War, and is saignton just a typo? Google throws up enough results for saignton to suggest that it was a popular variant spelling in the days when anybody had cause to talk about the town, perhaps because the two names sound similar and saignton sounds like saint something. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:47, 18 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
As one of the deleted edits points out, they both sound a bit like "satan". The Nations at War was written by an American author, so perhaps he misheard. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:50, 18 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
