I have an interest in recording details of female service
casualties and those working in conjunction with the armed
services, including civilians, who died as result of armed
conflict on official duty or unusual unavoidable
circumstances.
Each of my ladies has her own personal profile that includes,
where possible, a photograph of the lady, her grave, memorials
on which she is commemorated and any other relevant photo
or document. All attachments to the profile are acknowledged
to the originator or donor.
My project is not commercial it is my own personal way
of commemorating these unfortunate ladies and will hopefully,
eventually, be donated to an appropriate archive as a
permanent memorial.
The project goes back in time to when ladies, other than
camp followers went with the troops primarily
in an unofficial nursing capacity, in many cases wives
of the soldiers. So far I am only back to the Crimea.
Any assistance will be gratefully accepted.
Regards,
Tony Murphy
