Florence Harvey WW1 Military Nursing Reserve 1914
Circa 1914-1918. The Great War.
Photo of Florence Harvey and nursing collleagues and two Army Officers standing below a Red Cross train.
photo probably taken in England as all are wearing heavy unifrom/clothing.
Florence is far right in woolly cardigan. She was a Sister and served in the Great War in the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Reserve from 1914-1920 until she married Stuart Champion-Jones in Ceylon ( Sri Lanka) when she was 43.
She was awarded Military Medals, Women's Services and Distinguished Conduct Medal.
Who are her three other nursing colleagues and the handsome Army Officers. Are they doctors?
Any help gratefully received.
Look into your old folk's photo albums....did their fathers/mothers serve in the medical Corps during ww1?

The mystery,history and Archive of the Harveys of Bristol, a wealthy Victorian family 1866 to 1937.
The mystery is how this original personal family archive belonging to Florence Harvey came to be found in my deceased mother's house in Essex ten years ago.
Florence was living in Sri Lanka in the 1930's so how did it arrive in England and why did my mother have it?
My great aunt may have brought it back to England but why was it not returned to the Harvey family?
Does this Victorian family not have descendents to whom it could have been returned?
Why do the documents,archives and photos cease about 1937 when Florence Harvey's mother died?
The Harvey family have no connection to my own family.
It is our intention to return the Harvey family archive to Florence's descendents if they can be found.
Read their story on my eBay blog jeannchris and see their images here through time from 1866 to 1937.
