Description
Steenvoorde, France. 14 July 1915. Nursing sisters share a meal with the French soldiers probably in the grounds of a hospital. Note the cross on the arm band worn by some of the men which indicates that they are serving with the medical corps. One of the nursing sisters is Sister Ethel Helena Ubsdell, a British nurse who was attached to the 36th French Army Corps. 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 with French troops before resuming her work with the Friends at the end of the war. (Donor B. Holt)
