During WWI, Nurses from around New Zealand
willingly put their hand up to go and care for the soldiers engaged in the
battles of World War One. Wherever their base - in the fields, hospital ship or
England, among them were nurses from the Thames-Coromandel area.
Comprehensive information on New Zealand Military Nursing is
available on the web and in book form. The Treasury also has information on WWI
that includes nurses
from Thames Hospital.
Below is a list of the known nurses so far
identified as having trained, nursed or lived in the area. If you have any
information on these nurses, can you please contact me or leave details at The Treasury, Thames.
