Sister F Mackenzie
It was common practise that nursing staff during WW1 kept personal autograph books where they recorded patients they came into contact with. Some of these books were works of art and some just autographs from the men.
A book kept by Sister Mackenzie was recently sold on EBAY, frpm the images displayed on EBAY we extracted the following names.
