liverpool annie Posted 6 November , 2005 Share Posted 6 November , 2005 My friend asked me about this lady who is related to him - I have no idea! - could anybody please help? Anyone know anything or can point us in the right direction. Mary Jane Miller of Flimby, Cumbria, died Mar 21st at the 32nd Stationary Hospital, aged 28, interred at English Cemetery, Wimereux, France A starting point: from CWCG "Wimereux was the headquarters of the Queen Mary's Army Auxilliary Corps during the First World War and in 1919 it became the General Headquarters of the British Army. From October 1914 onwards, Boulogne and Wimereux formed an important hospital centre and until June 1918" So we know she was probably a QMAA Nurse Any help would be appreciated Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalredcross Posted 7 November , 2005 Share Posted 7 November , 2005 There does not appear to be any Miller apart from Annie C. listed as a QMAAC casualty. And whatever the QMAAC did, and it was a multitude of jobs, they did not nurse. This is probably one for Jim Strawbridge. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just :- Miller, Annie Catherine, QMAAC Miller, Catherine, QAIMNS Miller, Frances, QAIMNS Miller, Minnie Dorothea, VAD Miller, Tryphosa Mary, VAD None of these tie up with date of death.

Well - it looks like she wasn't a nurse I wonder if there would be any way of finding out anything about her? if you happen to have any ideas - I'd appreciate it! Thank again!
