drlbuchanan Posted 5 April , 2008 Share Posted 5 April , 2008 Hi, I am currently doing research on Family members who served during The Great War. I have in my possession a number of photos. handed down from family members who have helped in building up a profile of my Great Aunt. History:Mary (May) Duggan Staff Nurse Enlisted :June 1915 Discharged :July 1918 Service: 1st A.G.H. - HELIOPOLIS 14th A.G.H. - ABBASSIA 3rd British General Hospital - Havre 38th Stationary Hospital -Calais 3rd A.C.C.S. Poperinge 38th Stationary Hospital - Genoa,Italy 3rd Australian Aux. Hospital - Dartford. I have a couple of photos. of May captioned Dartford Christmas 1918. I also have a group photo of May with several of her friends - location unknown but she is wearing civilian clothing. Hope this may be of interest to someone.

I have spoken to many who knew May.From my mother's perspective she was tough but an angel ( she was a nurse now retired in her 80s). I think like all military nurses who served o/seas, they had to to survive with all the horrors associated with war. Cheers;David Buchanan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
