Queen Alexandra's Royal Naval Nursing Service

I've just added a list of women who joined Queen Alexandra's Royal Naval Nursing Service between 1884 and 1928 to my website. There's very little written about naval nurses, and because of the complexity of their records it's not possible to download the service record for an individual woman in the same way that you can for members of the Army nursing services.  I've also added some notes about the records which are held at The National Archives in ADM 104, and how to get hold of them, which can be a bit like negotiating a maze. The page can be found here:

And the image below gives some idea of the problems of finding records with more than one on a page, and notes directing you to other volumes and other pages:
