alf mcm Posted 2 February , 2019 Share Posted 2 February , 2019 Does anyone know of any books covering the S.A.M.N.S. in the Great War? I have had a look, but can't seem to find any. Regards, Alf McM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 2 February , 2019 Share Posted 2 February , 2019 The adventures of a South African nursing sister / by F.M. Ayliff. London: Arthur H. Stockwell [1922?] copac.jisc.ac.uk has this at the British Library, National Library of Scotland, Oxford and Cambridge, so an inter-library loan request should get it to you. I can't see it on archive.org or Google Books. The Royal College of Nursing has a couple of series of South African nursing journals, but I don't know whether they cover the period. https://www.rcn.org.uk/library It's probably worth asking them whether they know of any titles - I may well have missed some.

alf mcm Posted 3 February , 2019 Author Share Posted 3 February , 2019 Thanks SeaJane, The book you mention sounds interesting, but I am really looking for books to buy, or read online. I couldn't see any South African journals on the RCN website, but I will contact them to see if they know of any books. Regards, Alf McM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 3 February , 2019 Share Posted 3 February , 2019 (edited) I checked bookfinder.com but no Ayliff for sale sorry. A couple of other titles, most likely not online unless Kindle versions are available:- Military nursing in South Africa, 1914-1994 / Dennis O. Stratford and ; Hazel M. Collins. Pretoria : Chief of the National Defence Force 1994 Containing trauma : nursing work in the First World War / Christine E. Hallett. Pbk. ed. Manchester : Manchester University Press 2011 (hardback 2009) - contains some SA material. Edited 3 February , 2019 by seaJane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf mcm Posted 3 February , 2019 Author Share Posted 3 February , 2019 Thank's again SeaJane, The first title looks interesting, but googling it doesn't give any results. I already have 'Containing Trauma', but there isn't much in it about South African Nursing. Regards, Alf McM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 3 February , 2019 Share Posted 3 February , 2019 If you enter the terms - military nursing South Africa - into https://books.google.co.uk/ rather than Google itself it's possible to pick up stray pieces of information, but it is rather a faff.
