Hi all

Problem sorted

Kathleen Simmonds appear upon two local memorials in Madeley

She was born in the USA in 1889 to John an Annie Simmonds of Madeley

She was a member of the Red Cross Society.

I have some more info regarding her nursing career and cause of death, if anybody would like it please PM me.

If British Red Cross I would have thought that she would have a grave cared for by the CWGC. I wonder if she was American Red Cross.

Here is a photo of Kathleen Simmonds:

Are you able to expand at all on the source of the photo and how she was employed?

It came from a collection at the IWM. As yet I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact work she did but the photo had a heading 'Joint War Committe' and beneath it had the description 'Kathleen Simmonds who died of pneumonia on service'.
