Description
France. c. 1915. An informal group portrait of nursing and medical staff in the grounds of a hospital. Note the armbands worn by the men which had a red cross to indicate that they were with the medical service. Also note the number 24 on the collar of the seated men's coats. The nursing sister, standing on the left, is probably Sister Ethel Helena Ubsdell. Sister Ubsdell originally went to France with the Society of Friends' (Quakers) War Victim Relief, in November 1914. She then served two and a half years as a British nurse attached to the 36th French Army Corps before resuming her work with the Friends. (Donor B. Holt)
