Sister Winifred E K Brown worked at King Albert's Hospital (Number 3) for Convalescent Belgian Soldiers in Highgate, London, England. There were 300 beds which were constantly occupied. The medical staff consisted of a Doctor, a Surgeon, a Matron and 5 nurses. The wounded soldiers were often there for extended periods of time and would get to know the nurses very well. Tsidore Hennis was a soldier who had both his legs amputated. He organised for this autograph book to be written and drawn for Winifred.





This photo was taken at the Highgate Hospital in July 1917. The nurse marked with a X is Matron Maria Schoeffer.
