Hello Everyone,
Please see this guest post from the Ontario Ancestors:
“Tillsonburg’s Nightingales; Nursing Sisters in WWI” with Laurel Beechey
The Canadian nurses who served in World War I were called Bluebirds because of their blue uniforms and white veils. Laurel will guide us through the journey of five young nurses from the Tillsonburg area, leaving home and through their service with the Canadian Army Medical Corps. They are our unsung heroines. Caution – some pictures are graphic.
