kjharris Posted 24 September , 2011 Share Posted 24 September , 2011 Dear all If you are interested in more reading, there is a good book by Katie Pickles, a New Zealand historian, about the death and commemoration of Edith Cavell. cheers Kirsty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jainvince Posted 25 September , 2011 Share Posted 25 September , 2011 Another local soldier George Kershaw, also commented in the local church Magazine dated December 1915 thus "They are going mad to go down to the front to avenge the good Nurse Miss Cavell and I pity the Germans who come into contact with the lads" Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbriscoe Posted 26 September , 2018 Share Posted 26 September , 2018 From the P&J Quote Mystery surrounds the reason for the north’s long-held bond with the Norfolk-born nurse. But the respect for her heroism appears as strong as it was in 1919 when councillors in Inverness decided to create a memorial garden in her honour. Quote Nurse Cavell Memorial, Cavell Gardens, Inverness - NH 66475 44497 - CAVELL GARDENS (small image of Nurse Cavell) Erected in Memory Of Nurse Edith Louise Cavell who was born in Norfolk on 4th December 1865 she was appointed first matron of the Berkendael Medical Institute in Brussels in 1907. In August 1915 having been charged with assisting 130 persons to escape from Belgium she was court-martialled, condemned to death and shot on 12 October 1915. Her final courageous words were. “This I would say, standing as I do in view of God and eternity. I realise that patriotism is not enough I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.” Base: This memorial was erected in 2015 on the hundredth anniversary of her death. - MHG15630 - War Memorial, Ladies Walk, Inverness Grid reference Centred NH 6648 4450 (5m by 11m) Map sheet NH64SE Civil Parish INVERNESS AND BONA Geographical Area INVERNESS - Inverness, Cavell Gardens, Ladies Walk, War Memorial War Memorial (20th Century) Site Name Inverness, Cavell Gardens, Ladies Walk, War Memorial Classification War Memorial (20th Century) Alternative Name(s) Cavell Gardens, War Memorial Canmore ID 98548 Site Number NH64SE 134 NGR NH 66481 44506 Datum OSGB36 - NGR Permalink <a href="http://canmore.org.uk/site/98548" rel="nofollow">canmore.org.uk/site/98548</a> - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaJane Posted 29 December , 2018 Share Posted 29 December , 2018 Today. I prefer the grave as it was when I first saw it about 1970, to be honest. Will try to lay hands on a picture of that shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
