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.

Devon / Re: WWI aussie soldier in Exeter Hospital

I am the research co-ordinator for the Exeter First World War Hospitals project. We'd love to know anything you have about your WWI aussie soldier in Exeter Hospital. We have been compiling a list of names, most of which come to us by chance but may be able to match your grandfather with some of them.
The building known as Hospital No 3 was the Children's Home belonging to the Exeter Workhouse which was lent by the Guardians of the Poor to the Red Cross for use during the First World War as a hospital, because it was a modern building which was easy to adapt.
To contact the project and to find out more information please see https://www.exeterlocalhistorysociety.co.uk/world-war-1-hospitals-exhibition/
