During the war nine members of the Edmonton brigade were trained, equipped and sent overseas as V.A.D.s. They did splendid service and won great praise from the authorities for their faithfulness to duty. Now, of course, they are demobilized and back at their old pursuits as teachers and stenographers, though still members of the brigade. These young ladies were Miss Geach, Miss C. E. Hyndman, Miss Sloan, Miss M. O. Buchanan, Miss Agnes Wilson, Miss Ratledge, Miss K. Barnett, Miss Burrows, and Miss Olive Thompson.
Besides these, Miss Bethune, who trained here, and Miss Violet Wilson, who took part of her training in Edmonton, went overseas from other brigades, and Miss Nichols, who went to Corsica with the Scottish women's unit , died overseas. (The Edmonton Bulletin, June 19, 1920 (CITY EDITION), Page 5)
