ejwalshe Posted 24 December , 2019 Author Share Posted 24 December , 2019 Au contraire. First time you saw this particular package of film & photos. This footage has been properly identified for the first time (IWM annotation is incorrect). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisonmallen62 Posted 13 January , 2020 Share Posted 13 January , 2020 For any family this is an amazing piece of footage. How many lost loved ones and didn’t see them buried. So poignant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylon1357 Posted 21 April , 2023 Share Posted 21 April , 2023 A few moths ago, I read an article or short story where her death and funeral were mentioned. Very interesting to see this video footage of her internment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraG Posted 21 April , 2023 Share Posted 21 April , 2023 (edited) Recently been in contact with Sherri Robinson, the Volunteer Archivist for the Township of Esquimalt, where Nursing Sister Wake was born. She kindly shared this interesting information following her research (11 November 1998). https://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/names/54322.html Edited 21 April , 2023 by BarbaraG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
