[*Sandra*]

Commonwealth War Grave Commssion would like to contact relatives of Anne Veronica Fletcher - Territorial Force Nursing Service - Anne died 14 March 1918 Chesterfield Borough, Derbyshire

Anne is commemorated on a family memorial in Spital Cemetery Chesterfield.
Ann Veronica Fletcher, Sister of The Territorial Nursing Force who died 12th March 1917 aged 27, her brother, Charles was killed in action on the Somme 1st July 1916.

The private memorial marking the grave of Staff Nurse Fletcher no longer provides adequate commemoration.  The Commission are in the process of of producing a headstone to mark her grave.

Ann Fletcher served at the East Leeds War Hospital from 7/5/15 to 11/6/17, on which date she was invalided out. She had no apparent health problems until February 1917, but was then diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, and by June 1917 was already quite ill. She was admitted to Walton Sanatorium, Chesterfield, on 27/6/17. Her disability was declared 'in' but not 'by' her military service. It also seems from her file that she was a rather difficult woman in the ordinary course of things, and did not get on at all well with her colleagues.

Her death reference is - March quarter 1918, Chesterfield, 7b 873.
