Remembered Today:

Salonika Nursing Sisters


Guest ElizaD

Recommended Posts

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

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...

I do have a copy of "No 4 Canadian Hospital" The letters of Professor J J MacKenzie from the Salonika Front with a memoir by his wife

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.

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?
