QSA (0) (Sister Raphael) officially impressed naming, minor edge bruises

MID London Gazette 16 April 1901 (Lord Roberts’ despatch).

Sister Raphael is confirmed on the roll of the Roman Catholic Convent, Bloemfontein.

Bloemfontein, the capital of the Orange Free State, was captured by Lord Roberts on 13 March 1900. Occupied by his force of some 36,000, and without any proper sanitary provisions, it soon became engulfed by a raging typhoid epidemic. By mid-April there were 2000 men in hospital and the dead and dying overwhelmed Roberts’ inadequate medical arrangements, so much so that an urgent request for an extra 30 Doctors and 300 Orderlies was sent to London. The Mother Superior and Sisters of the Roman Catholic Convent (16 in total) and the Nursing Staff of St Michael’s Home (12 in total), at Bloemfontein, provided much needed beds and assistance during the epidemic.

WO100/229p135 lists all the names for St Michael’s Home, and includes a section towards the end for the Roman Catholic Convent. The remaining 11 names are on p136.
