I am interested in photographs so I will visit the website you mentioned.  I can look up their files on line but would like to know if you have any further documents such as diaries etc but I know this is a very long shot.
Regards
Graham

Hi Graham, and welcome :)

You should search the Archives New Zealand database, https://archway.archives.govt.nz/
I tried 'New Zealand General Hospital'.

There are a number of files listed there related to nursing staff and also the unit's three War Diaries.
I would also suggest searching for the specific individuals by name.

You should also try local libraries, The Imperial War Museum in London UK, our National Library https://natlib.govt.nz/

Thanks for the information.  I will look at the archive as I have been trying to locate the War Diaries for the hospital.
