VAD red cross nurses
« on: Friday 25 November 11 13:26 GMT (UK) »
Would any one have any information on two VAD nurses i am researching. They both worked at the racecourse hospital Cheltenham during WW1. I have contacted the British red cross society for service records and i am awaiting a reply.

The nurses are Miss M McClymont Reid who was mentioned in dispatches.

Dorothy Edith Griffith-Jones who lived in Cheltenham when she died in 1962. I also have a thread open on Dorothy in the Bedfordshire section where she lived as a child. And have gaind some useful information.

Any information or photos of the nurses would be most helpful.
