Guest ElizaD Posted 10 October , 2008 Share Posted 10 October , 2008 The Canadian Army Medical Corps was asked to provide medical units Gallipoli and Salonika in 1915 even though no Canadian army units were serving there. I am writing about the nursing sisters who were at No. 4 and No. 5 Canadian General Hospitals from the autumn of 1915 to the summer of 1917. A number of them were mentioned in despatches and several were awarded the Royal Red Cross medal. Can anyone suggest where I might find more specific information about their "valuable services with the Armies in the Field?" I have the L.G. numbers for one of the nurses. Suggestion for sources in addition to my Canadian books and internet sites would be appreciated. I can send a link to a preliminary photostory I've posted on my website for November 11 if that would be of interest. Thanks, ElizaD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutertom Posted 28 January , 2014 Share Posted 28 January , 2014 Eliza: If you're still about and working on your book, please drop a line. I'm researching No.4 CGH as well, but from a slightly different perspective. Wife's great aunt was one of the N/S there and kept several diaries, photos, etc...

stevenbecker Posted 29 January , 2014 Share Posted 29 January , 2014 Mates, Sorry I have no Canadian nurses on record but do have a large number of AIF nurses sent to Salonika to work in the Hosps there. S.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutertom Posted 31 January , 2014 Share Posted 31 January , 2014 Barkalot: Hadn't read that book yet, although I did read how the author died shortly after the Great War from what some insensitive "media-types" called his own experiments. Methinks I'll look up a copy and give it a go. Any decent photos in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkalotloudly Posted 31 January , 2014 Share Posted 31 January , 2014 it does have 12 photos in it, used to be quite readily available on the net hence I managed to find a copy with a wrapper, do not know what the availability/price is now regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
