Sister Mabel Templeton Hannah

[Andrew Hesketh]

Following the incredible help I recently got concerning Eleanor Chambers I've taken the liberty of asking if anyone can add to my pen portrait of the above lady.

What I know is:

Holder of a Mons Ribbon and Star. Served in France from October 1914 to October (?) 1916. In August 1918 she was the Assistant Matron of the Connaught Hospital in Aldershot and her name was bought to the attention of "the Secretary of State for War for valuable nursing services rendered". Daughter of Captain W. T. Hannah, Cairnsmore, Abergele.
