Following a short AGM, the talk will look at nurses who served in Salonica. As well as dealing with wounded men, many of their cases suffered from illnesses such as malaria and dysentry. The nurses themselve also died from these diseases. The talk also looks at where these hospitals were and lines of evacuation for the sick and wounded.
