monkstown Posted 1 April Share Posted 1 April (edited) I hope this request is acceptable. A very long time ago, I sourced an article from the online site of the British Medical Journal re the Training of Voluntary Aid Detachments. It included the following: 'three chief objects for which a women's detachment would be required: (i) to nurse the sick ... (ii) to cook for the sick and injured ... (iii) to sew, darn, wash and generally look after .... I think it also referred to applying formentations. I do wonder f it was the British Journal of Nursing rather than the BMJ but either way, access to those sites are no longer free and I cannot find my own personal notes - I think they must have been on an old email address no longer available to me. The note I have says August 1912 but despite looking at archive.org, I can't trace the article in the BMJ journal of that year, and I can't find a BJN journal for that year. Just wondered if by any remote chance, any other member would recognise this. All I actually need is the correct date and issue etc to cite it. Many thanks Edited 1 April by monkstown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 1 April Admin Share Posted 1 April I’ve looked on the late Sue Lights website, but can’t find anything. Maybe @seaJane can assist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 1 April Share Posted 1 April Searching on "The training of Voluntary Aid Detachments" in Europe PMC* brings up these two: https://europepmc.org/betaSearch?query="Training of voluntary aid detachments" Regards, seaJane *the European mirror of PubMed Central - I find the Europe version easier to use.

monkstown Posted 1 April Author Share Posted 1 April Thank you @seaJane and @Michelle Young for your prompt replies. I wasn't aware of that PMC - I will avail of that. I will have to continue searching through all my notes (online and on paper) here - I have laid out those 'three chief objects' as a direct quote from the article but the source is still eluding me .... Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 1 April Share Posted 1 April Glad to help - just checking, have you clicked on the links to read the articles themselves? If what you want is not immediately visible, it may need digging for. sJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkstown Posted 1 April Author Share Posted 1 April Yes, I have clicked and looked but didn't see what I need - I'll keep trying however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 1 April Share Posted 1 April These may be the physical source: https://discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/search?author=&title=Voluntary+Aid+Training&publisher=&publisher-place=&isn=&date=1910-1915&subject=&map-scale=&keyword= They're all paper copies - I've looked for an online version but I can't find one - however, an inter-library loan should be possible. sJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkstown Posted 1 April Author Share Posted 1 April Thanks @seaJane - I'm in Dublin and really missing remote access to the BL! I feel I must have the details of the source somewhere here .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 1 April Share Posted 1 April Might be worth asking Trinity College Dublin - they have one of the copyright deposit libraries, so should hold it, but depending on the size of their cataloguing backlog it may not have appeared online yet.

monkstown Posted 1 April Author Share Posted 1 April Apologies for sending you on a wild goose chase - having turned the house and the laptop upside down in my search, I see now that I was completely wrong in the source suggested - no connection whatsoever - no idea how I got that so wrong! The correct source is First Aid Journal 1912-1914 by Museum of the Order of St John - Issuu - 'First Aid - the Independent Journal for the Ambulance and Fire Services' August 1912 (I got that part correct ) p.34 Thank you for your help and apologies again @seaJane and @Michelle Young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
