Update on my #WW1 nurse death certs research - almost finished downloading, I do a bunch squeezed in around regular academic and home stuff. Some have been challenging to find even though army records give date & location of death in NZ - I’m not reading any until I’ve got them all!

Forget about Beevor's Arnhem. That's all old history and full of opinions not based on facts. Support me, a self-publishing historian without a massive marketing department.
