| Notes | Croix de Guerre 1914-15 (French) Sister Lily Lind, French Flag Nursing Corps, WW1 Lily Lind who trained at Wellington Hospital (registered in 1908), went to France with Mrs Bedford Fenwick who recruited nurses for the French Flag Nursing Corps. she was among those nurses sent to the Front by the French Minister of War. While employed on barge transport duty Nurse Lind caught a chill which turned into pulmonary phthisis, and she Returned to England with fellow New Zealander Sister Hitchcock caring for her. She was taken aboard the New Zealand hospital ship Maheno but died on board in December 1916, one day out from Colombo. In January 1915 the New Zealand nursing journal, Kai Tiaki, reported that Sister Lind was working in Rouen in the Hospital Hotel Dieu, and published a letter from Lily under the header The French Flag Nursing Corps. In October that year another letter was published. Lily wrote from the Service d'Evacuations Fluviales, Peniche Hospital No 1, Secteur Postal 15 Dunquerque. She writes of having been shelled out of the little hospital at Bergues, evacuating patients between shells from long-range guns during the daytime, and bombs from Taubes by night. After a few weeks of life in cellars she went to Paris Plage near Boulogne for two weeks, and then with Sister Hitchcock began working in one of the two French Hospital barges "transporting wounded from the Nieuport vicinity to Bourbourg". | |||||||||||||||||||||||
