chrisharley9 Posted 25 November , 2005 Share Posted 25 November , 2005 3. Canadian Army Medical Corps. Nursing Sister. Did the Australian and New Zealand Armies have their own Medical Corps, and if so did they have Nursing Sisters <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the answer to that is yes on both counts - most if not all of the NZ nurse casualties are on the Mikra Memorial All The Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisharley9 Posted 25 November , 2005 Share Posted 25 November , 2005 4. Scottish Churches Huts. Nursing Sister. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dont think this lady was a nurse as the Scottish Churches Huts was an organisation more akin to the YMCA. The Scottish Women's Hospital is what you should be looking for. All The Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisharley9 Posted 25 November , 2005 Share Posted 25 November , 2005 Canadian Nurses could either be in the Canadian Army Nursing Service or the Canadian Army Medical Corps Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadawwi Posted 25 November , 2005 Share Posted 25 November , 2005 Thank you for posting these beautiful photographs. I encourage those of you with headstone photos for Canadians to contribute the photograph digitally to the Canadian Virtual Memorial (a government of Canada project) for permanent display. For example, the record for Matilda Green is here. Go to the spot where it says "CLICK HERE TO ADD TO THE COLLECTION". Upload your photo the same way you do on this forum, answer a few questions, and your photo is on its way. After a few weeks they will review the photo to be sure it matches the right casualty and then it will be on display to improve the record for Nursing Sister Green. Relatives, descendents and researchers are very pleased to see this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonycad Posted 26 November , 2005 Author Share Posted 26 November , 2005 chrisharley, Sorry, my mistake. I should have realised this, when on looking at the headstone again I see that the lady from the Scottish Church Huts has no nursing title.
