Gertrude Mary Giltinan

I am searching for the grave of Gertrude Mary Giltinan, died 19/11/1918, on behalf of the In From The Cold project.

She was a nurse of the Voluntary Aid Detachment.

Does anybody have any information?

Find a grave site has Brookwood Woking Surrey but that could just be the memorial as it says

Plot - panel 11

Thanks, but that is the Memorial. The names remain on the Memorial until we find the grave. But thanks for your quick reply.

You need to give more details in your original posts to avoid duplication of information.

Given that the mortuaries were full, and the undertakers could not keep up the pace, she may have been buried in a mass grave??

Thanks, but this Gertrude Giltinan was aged 89 when she died, so wouldn't have been active in WW1.

Pardon ?

I thought you were looking for the nurse who died in active service? Did you look at the correct entry on that leaflet? She was aged 38. Some sites and the photo have her dying in 1919 not 1918 but I think it is the same person.
