SeaJane,

 

Good morning, I feel as if your task as similar to painting the Forth Road Bridge, once you think you have finished you have to start again. 🙈.

On a positive note it genuinely will be “ the “ document to go to first when trying to reference certain books/ documents on Medicine and Healthcare in WW1.

Thank you Martin, they are noted for addition.

 

Someone else alerted me to some missing hospital material and, following a play around with different search keywords, I find myself with another half a dozen pages to add.

 

Onwards!

[seaJane]

Now added - mostly hospital and Red Cross material.

Thanks for the compliments!

Always up for new titles >gulp<

When I can see distinct coverage of both male and female I've duplicated the entry so it appears in both sections - there don't seem to be very many, but I may have missed a few. Perhaps I should flag the duplicates - always willing to copy more over if asked.

It is there, Bob; I think the author of that one was Kate Luard (can't check at the moment). If so, it will be in the second section under her name. 

Ctrl+F = Find should be able to search electronically as a substitute for Mk.I eyeball. If not, let me know and I will work something out.

Thanks for the other two titles - I will add them!
