Lieutenant Annie Isabel Elliott

Lieutenant (Army).

The following is transcribed from the War Memorial of Huron County's Heroes and Heroines. Published by The Wingham Advance, Wingham, Ontario. This was a pamphlet with photos of war dead and survivors. From page ten:

MISS ANNIE ELLIOTT was Assistant Superintendent of the Woodstock General Hospital when she enlisted as a nurse for overseas in February, 1917. On May 24th she sailed for England. On arrival she was assigned to duty to Ramsgate Hospital. It will be remembered by many that this hospital was bombed several times by the Hun raiders, and totally wrecked and one killed in the last raid. Nursing Sister Elliott was on duty during these raids, but fortunately escaped injury. She went to France on Sept. 1st and was attached to No. 3 Canadian General Hospital, where she remained for one year, and later to the Field Ambulance Corps, where she served until after the armistice was signed. Miss Elliott was among those who crossed the Rhine; she made several trips back and forth in executing her duties. On March 17th1 of this year she got leave of absence and took a trip to Ireland. She visited Cork, Dublin, and Belfast, and did not forget to visit Killarney and kiss the blarney stone She went through the large linen mills and saw the way the fine linens are made. She sailed on the Grampian on the 11th of April, and after a rough voyage finally reached home on the 4th of March. Nursing Sister Elliott is a daughter of the late Veterinary Surgeon J. J. and Mrs. Elliott, Victoria St., Wingham.
