Mr Wimble?

As a side line. I had the great pleasure a few years ago to have had in my hand Mr Wimbles group of medals, which included a QSA with the DOM clasp.

Perhaps he was a patient of hers at some point??

Great medal and super write up.

Cheers

Thank heavens it was only Mr Wimble's medals you held in your hand Adrian!:blush:

Wimble was Matron Hill's husband Frank.

Hello Rory,
Okay, so is this is Claude Wimble of the Cape Police you are talking about?

Wonderful research!
Could I ask which publication the photograph with attached annotations of the nurses names is from?

Rory,

I have been re-reading this excellent biography as part of the DoM research. A quick question about the wedding date and the birth of their first child. Did they marry 27 June 1902 and their first son was born 17 November 1902?
