Hello,
Back on Rootschat after a couple of years !
Looking in to QAIMNS for my 96 year old mum.
She wrote a description of her experiences after joining up and being sent to India in 1943.
Her notes cover being kitted out in Oxford,going to Liverpool and via Glasgow on the ORONTES.
All the way to Bombay.Subsequently finished up nursing Chindits in a jungle clearing, because there was such fierce fighting at Kohima where they had planned to be.Eventually had to be sent back down the line because she became so sick with malaria etc.
Just very interested to hear of anyone else having sourced more information of this part of WW2 and the nurses in particular. She has an amazing story and I'd love to find out more background.
Apparently it is often referred to as The Forgotten War.
Thank you very much.
David
