Bob Coulson Posted 11 February , 2003 Share Posted 11 February , 2003 On the thread mentioning female casualties, Sister Wood is mentioned as winning the MM as a result of her actions when Nellie Spindler was killed. Would anyone have any info on this action or Sister Wood.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 11 February , 2003 Share Posted 11 February , 2003 Bob You may wish to contact the Imperial War Museum about Sister Wood. A few years ago they had an exhibition about women and gallantry medals, including WW1 MM's. Terry Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
