Was member of "Left Behind" club - nurses who didn't get married by the end of the war.
Materials in photo album/scrapbook - nurses service, weddings (1944) - photos + postcards.
Based mainly Cyprus, but visited Lebanon, Damascus and North African battlefields.
Contributor remarked that he was 'scared of her' - was quite young when she died.
Doesn't quite know what to do with it (photo album) - decided to digitize it.
