Scarletfinders - new content

I've recently added quite a few personal accounts to the web site, and also some miscellaneous accounts which are not really nursing, but relate either to women's war service, hospitals or patient/soldier care in one way or another. I thought it might be helpful to list some of them here, with links to the web pages:

Nurses' Tales
A Territorial Force Sister - Isobel Birrell
3 Casualty Clearing Station - Kathleen Latham
A Base Hospital in France - Adelaide Walker
A Nurse's Life in Italy - Dorothea Walker
An Officers' Hospital in France - Eva Cicely Fox
North Russia 1918/19 - Helena Hartigan
No.27 Ambulance Train
Hospital Ship 'Warilda' torpedoed - Daisy Dobbs

Miscellaneous Accounts
Ontario Military Hospital, Orpington
Henley-in-Arden open-air hospital
British Red Cross Hospital, Netley
Women in the War Office
Young Women's Christian Association
Women's Forage Corps
Rouen Station Coffee Shop
Visitors' Hostel, Le Havre
Relatives' Hostel, Le Touquet
Grey Hut, Chateau d'Oex (Prisoners of War)

There will certainly be more, and I'll add the links here as they appear.

About Me

Sue Light
West Sussex, United Kingdom
A nurse and midwife for most of my working life, an interest in both family history and the Great War led me on to researching several local Sussex war memorials, and also British Military Nurses from 1875 onwards. I've lived in West Sussex for many years, where I work for a GP group practice
