And the photographs below. Who were the people? Dame Monica Wills; Miss Baillie; and Ms Kyle; Holbrook; and G.Kyle? They were obviously important to Barbara Tyler, but just who were they?

At the start of the scrapbook there are several photographs which will probably prove difficult to identify. But others will be easier, although perhaps a challenge - nurses in uniform especially named and with ranks, are a good start. Some will, in all probability, remain in the ether. But their photographs will always pose the question of who they were.  With luck, we will gain some extended history....

A whole host of questions - certainly more than we have answers to at the present time. The ladies on the left below - are they nurses? Orderlies? And what is Walburton - a ward perhaps? And the ladies in the centre - who were they - outside what appear to be two churches, although one could be a manor house? And who was Marjorie Lane Laurie Klitz (Rt)- and  - does anyone recognise that bath-chair?

The photographs become much more nursing and hospital oriented as the scrapbook proceeds, but we have a start, perhaps someone will, recognise a who, what or where before we come back next time with another set of photographs.
