- Description
Most of the images in this collection record the military and the sites of frontline action. There are fewer images of the ambulance units, dressing stations and field hospitals.
In 1916 Agnes Bennett was appointed commanding officer of the 7th Medical Unit of the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service. From August 1916 her field hospital was attached to the Serbian army. An attack of Malaria led to her resignation in October 1917.(info from The Dictionary of New Zealand Biography, vol three, 1901-1920.
The 7th Unit of the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service was called the American Unit because funds for its equipment and operation were raised in America.
