Retired nurse. Enthusiastic explorer of history - particularly nursing. A reader, a walker & a dreamer for a just world.

Thanks re unions - She has 7 addresses listed in London from 1925 to 1943. They give 20 July 1923 as her GNC registration date, but I cannot find the actual record of this.

Not known by me - she does not mention in her memoir union membership when she trained at the West London Hospital 1915 - 1919, or later in her career. Would there be records??

Very frustrating. A suggestion [from my son] is to add 'PDF' to your Search phrase - if there is a copy ( usually posted somewhere by the author) this is more likely to bring up a usable link. I have tried this and sometimes it has worked

Great being back at LAC on Sunday. After nearly 6 years away(!) fantastic to play at The Farm CQB.
Used a custom build 4x2 pouch to hold my kit with the belt loop option so no rig needed.
I've since built a rear stock shotgun shell holder to go along with the Bandolier/sling I made previously.

Today, a 29-day-old baby died at Nasser hospital, southern #Gaza, #Palestine, just two hours after arriving at the MSF- supported paediatric ward in the early hours of the morning. Despite treatment efforts, he could not be saved. According to the MoH, he died from hypothermia.
