Unknown Soldier

Description

Badly faded photograph of a nurse in Queen Alexandra's uniform, discovered between the pages of a medical textbook in a box of donated books to the Leeds General Infirmary library. The nurse wears a theatre cap and has a stethoscope around her neck — unusual for the period and suggesting she held a senior nursing role. The book is inscribed "E.M.H., Tobruk, 1942" which may be the nurse's initials and posting.
