Dr Kirsty Harris from the University of Melbourne has provided guidance on many civilian and military nursing protocols. This has been fundamental to my understanding of Australian military nursing during World War One. That someone could be so generous with their knowledge is a gift to a writer of history. I would also like to thank Sherayle McNab for her help compiling a list of Australians who served with the New Zealand Army Nursing Service (NZANS) and Cynthia Toman from the University of Ottawa who provided the names of Australian nurses who served with Canada. A special thanks also to Dr Judith Godden who informed me that her relative Ruth Murray-Prior had been a member of a Voluntary Aid Detachment during the war. I would also like to thank Dr Amanda Andrews for providing a Nominal Roll of sisters and nurses who served with the Australian Voluntary Hospital. Heather Ford (aka Frev) has always been extremely generous providing information and newspaper reports about nurses during the war. Heather Sheard from the University of Melbourne also, very kindly assisted with compiling a list of Australian female doctors who served outside their own country during the war. I have been extremely fortunate to have as my supervisor Professor Angela Woollacott who has been with me throughout this journey, personally and professionally. The support given to me by Angela and her husband Carroll Pursell has extended far beyond the duties of a PhD supervisor. Dr Carolyn Strange and Professor Joan Beaumont have provided comprehensive direction in relation to gender and World War One respectively. To have such expertise and knowledge in support of my research and thesis has been invaluable and I thank you both. Throughout Australia and the United Kingdom, librarians, archivists and research staff have provided assistance locating sometimes obscure documentation relating to Australian women who served outside their own country during World War One. Without the help of these professionals, this thesis would be greatly lessened. I would like to particularly thank Sara Cox former Archivist at the British Red Cross Society in London who made my visit there particularly enjoyable and rewarding. Lisl Bladin who replaced her was also extremely helpful. xi I would like to thank librarians at the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh and at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow who provided access to a wide range of archival documents. On my two visits to the Mitchell Library, the professionalism of staff and their wish to help me was outstanding.

  • 'Women in Medicine & Scottish Women's Hospitals'
    WWI: Women in Medicine KS3 / LESSONS 1-5 WORKSHEETS IN ASSOCIATION WITH LESSON 2: WORKSHEET Elsie Ingis 1864 – 1917 Elsie Inglis was born in 1864, in the small Indian town of Naini Tal, before moving back to Scotland with her parents. At the time of her birth, women were not considered equal to men; many parents hoped to have a son rather than a daughter. But Elsie was lucky – her mother and father valued her future and education as much as any boy’s. After studying in Paris and Edinburgh, she went on to study medicine and become a qualified surgeon. Whilst working at hospitals in Scotland, Elsie was shocked to discover how poor the care provided to poorer female patients was. She knew this was not right, so set up a tiny hospital in Edinburgh just for women, often not accepting payment. Disgusted by what she had seen, Elsie joined the women’s suffrage campaign in 1900, and campaigned for women’s rights all across Scotland, with some success. In August 1914, the suffrage campaign was suspended, with all efforts redirected towards war. But the prejudices of Edwardian Britain were hard to break. When Elsie offered to take an all-female medical unit to the front in 1914, the War Office told her: “My good lady, go home and sit still.” But Elsie refused to sit still. She offered help to France, Belgium and Serbia instead – and in November 1914 dispatched the first of 14 all-women medical units to Serbia, to assist the war effort. Her Scottish Women’s Hospitals went on to recruit more than 1,500 women – and 20 men – to treat thousands in France, Serbia, Corsica, Salonika, Romania, Russia and Malta.

In many ways, through a variety of organisations and Scotland this meant ‘women 30 years or over who were campaigns, often inter-related and with overlapping themselves, or their husbands, occupiers as owners or memberships. Of particular importance were the tenants of lands or premises in their constituency in forms of franchise to which women were admitted which they claimed the vote’.2 A woman could also prior to 1918, and the ways in which women be registered if her husband was a local government responded to opportunities to vote and to seek public elector; the local government franchise in Scotland office at local level.

  • Dr Agnes Lloyd Bennett Died in 1960, Her Heroism Almost Totally Forgotten
    U3A AUSTRALIAN HISTORY. Dr. AGNES LLOYD BENNETT. 1872-1960. [Editor: When “this story first arrived at my ‘inbox’ I felt that some of the expressions in it were “needing adjustment”, being perhaps not “correct” for our times. I began an editing process, but realized that the actual forms of language used in the story reflect the language of the time and probably of the author in former times. I abandoned the edit and give you the original text. Enjoy both the story and the John’s writing of it.] Agnes Lloyd Bennett was born at Neutral Bay in Sydney on 24 June 1872. She was educated at Abbotsleigh and Sydney Girls High Schools. She won a scholarship and went to Sydney University and wanted to study Medicine but was told that women could not become Doctors so she studied Science and graduated with Honours. She found that she would be welcome to study Medicine at Edinburgh University so she set sail for Scotland. In 1899 she graduated with Honours She now returned to Australia to find that Hospitals would not allow women to be Doctors there. She opened a practice in Darlinghurst but there was much prejudice against a female Doctor and she was forced to close the practice. She was accepted by women but some men would not allow their wives and daughters to see a woman Doctor. The only place that she was accepted was at Callan Park Hospital for the Insane. 1 In 1905 she went to New Zealand and was offered a position at Wellington, She was soon the Chief Medical Officer at St.
