Where can I find details of nurses in WW1?
One of my ancestors was born in 1887 in Ireland and I have been told that she was a nurse in the war and although lived in Ireland apparently she was a nurse in France. Can anyone help me find out more about her. Thanks Sue

You can always go to your local library and take out books about WWI, or even request books at other libraries. Wikipedia is also a decent source of information, and you can even Google WWI nurses and see if you find anything.

Lyn MacDonald The Roses of No Mans Land, Lyn Macdonald did a series of books in the 1980 of first person interviews with British troops and Nurses who went though the First World War. The Roses is No mans Land is a copulation if interviews done with British Nurses from 1914 to 1918. It's the only book I know of that dealt exclusively with Nurses at that time.
