World War One / Re: Dorothy Vlieland
« on: Monday 21 August 17 18:16 BST (UK) »
Hi, everyone, I am joining this thread a bit late, but I am interested in Dorothy Vlieland.
I am co-ordinating the research group looking at the history of Exeter's First World War Hospitals and Dorothy is one of the nurses whom we have listed as having died during the war. She was a nurse at No 2 Hospital which (for you Exonians) was Bishop Blackall School. She was a qualified nurse, not a Red Cross (VAD) nurse and had worked in hospitals before the war. Her mother was the wonderful woman Alice Vlieland who started the Infant Welfare Clinics in the city.
For more information or to find out about our project (and exhibition in September) see https://www.exeterlocalhistorysociety.co.uk/world-war-1-hospitals-exhibition/ I would be delighted to help in any way I can.
