Just on the off chance, this is from a Newry newspaper in July 1947:

NEWRY NURSE FOR PORTSMOUTH

A Newry nurse, Miss Susan Grant, of Cashel, Mullaghbawn, has been appointed as an Alexandra Nursing Sister for S.S.A.F.A. (The Soldiers', Sailors' and Airmens' Families' Association).  Miss Grant, who trained at Birkenhead Municipal Hospital and Withington Hospital, Manchester, served with Q.A.I.M.N.S.R. during the war.  She has been appointed to Hilsea Barracks, Portsmouth, where she will look after the families of men serving there.


The article goes on to describe how half of the sisters serve in home garrisons, half in garrisons abroad, running ante and post natal clinic, visiting and generally providing the sort of district nursing service that would be provided at home.

Looks like the one I found in the Army Lists...  ;D

It all fits though...One in the same with the pic...
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
