The records date from 1902-1922 and include details such as date and place of birth, training prior to and during the war, references to their suitability as military nurses hospitals, field ambulances, casualty clearing stations and other medical units served in, and assessments by superiors.
TNA's news page at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/635.htm is saying they cost £3.50 each to download, however, at the moment, they seem to be being offered for free - so may be worth having a quick look!

Thanks for the tip! I just downloaded my relative's record for free. I previously got a paper copy from TNA but nice to have clear digital images too :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are nicely scanned! Don't forget Findmypast has some nurses material just released also (though haven't looked yet to see if same thing!)
