sarnich Posted 30 January , 2014 Posted 30 January , 2014 Hi there, I thought some of you might be interested in a segment of an online virtual exhibit, Through Her Eyes: Katharine McLennan, that features photographs, correspondence and artwork that were collected by Katharine McLennan, WWI nursing assistant. Katharine served from 1916 on. Her first commission was in Hospital de l'Alliance in Yvetot from May 10 to December 28, 1916. This was followed by Hospital Auxiliaire No.109 in Pont-Audemer from January 18 to September 18, 1917. From there it was on to Vasseny at a hospital referred to only as HOE 18; she was there from October 13, 1917 to February 28, 1918. Katharine took a break in the spring and early summer of 1918, but returned to France to Pontoise and the Hospital Militaire, Caserne de Cavaliere from July 16 to November 11, 1918. She also spent time in a German hospital in Langenschwalbach from January to May of 1919. She worked closely with Helen Homans, who is honored at Harvard's memorial chapel. There are over 250 photographs, letters, and pieces of artwork. If you'd like to see them, click below! http://www,kmclennan.com Enjoy! Please let me know what you think if you take the time to look at them.
