Hi Sue,

Thanks for all that - got a little carried away reading the war diaries so had better get on with a little work!

Well worth a look - I will read on later...

Perhaps not strictly nurses, perhaps more air ambulance, but they undoubtedly nursed many of our WWI soldiers and brought them home - or died trying.  And weren't they so very young....?

Not 'Nightingales' in our understanding maybe, but who could have done more...

Just had a quick read, they were nurses.  Wow, simply amazing, all praise to them, lest we forget!

Hi.

Another nice link about a WW1 Passchendaele nurse...

Adding another grain to the sands of our nursing history....

Plus a little more about the same nurse (Nellie Spindler) and Elsie Mabel Gladstone also a nurse.
