WW1 speech by nurse
The blog slipped open so here's a quick post. Historical collections had a request for info on Helen McClelland, a World War I nurse. They're not finding anything, but the archives has 2 pictures of her at an opening of a 1972 exhibit on nursing and a folder of clippings. The folder of clippings at first glance was just photocopies of articles about her, but it turns out there's also a talk in there that she gave about her WW1 service. Pretty neat!

Does she say anything of particular interest?
We'll have to get back to you on that, I'm afraid. I'm prepping for the History of Medicine meetings.
I stuck up a quick transcription of 3 paragraphs for you.
Thanks!
