Nurse Lilian F Galliott
QAIMNS Reserve
Nurse Galliott’s service record is
available from the National Archives Online. It shows
that she was privately educated at home. Then after
training in Jersey from 1912 to 1916 she worked first
at Edmonton Military Hospital in London then became
a Staff Nurse at No. 71 General Hospital in Egypt from
1917 to 1919. Both were specialist orthopaedic units.
The hospital was near Cairo in a area where malaria
was rife. She was hospitalised with pneumonia whilst
serving there.
