Hi, KerrieAnne, Thanks much for your reply and listing of websites. We had already review the discoveranzacs pages....but had not yet seen the nurses.ww1anzac....seems to confirm information from other sources, except they have her death in 1975 when she died on 20 October 1965. Yes, the Royal Red Cross Medal carries much honour: The Royal Red Cross is a military decoration awarded in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth for exceptional services in military nursing. It was established on 27 April 1883 by Queen Victoria, with a single class of Member. A second and lower class, Associate, was added during World War I in 1917. The Royal Red Cross (RRC) was the first example of an Order exclusively for women. Men became eligible only in 1976. The award is made to a fully trained nurse of an officially recognised nursing service, military or civilian, without restriction to rank who have": 'shown exceptional devotion or competency in performance of nursing duties with the Army in the field, or in Naval and Military or Air Force hospitals or in an Auxiliary War hospital over a continuous or long period or who has performed some exceptional act of bravery or devotion to the post of duty'. Holders of the second class who receive a further award are promoted to the first class, although an initial award can also be made in the first class. Holders of the first class who receive a further award are awarded a bar. Royal Red Cross is awarded in two levels - First Class with post-nominal RRC and for a lesser degree of service in a Second Class (known as the Associate) with post-nominal ARRC. Sister Jessie Helena Buchanan contributed so much service, there must be a photo someplace and we shall keep looking. kind regards, elaine -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 12/14/14, KerrieAnneC <kcact@tpg.com.au> wrote: Subject: Re: [AUS-NSW] seeking picture of Sister Jessie Helena Buchanan (1881-1965) To: "Elaine Hanford" <ejhanford@att.net>, aus-nsw@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, December 14, 2014, 2:54 PM hi I do not have a photo of Sister Buchanan - however she is included on the following web sites http://nurses.ww1anzac.com/bu.html http://discoveringanzacs.naa.gov.au/browse/records/133560 http://discoveringanzacs.naa.gov.au/browse/person/16782 as  you noted  she was awarded the Royal Red Cross Medal - in fact it was Royal Red Cross First Class sorry I cannot help with a photograph KAC On 15/12/2014 9:42 AM, Elaine Hanford via wrote: > Hello, Listers > I'm working with a friend in NSW and we are trying to find pictures of those who served in WWI and are listed on the Honour Boards of the Coff's Harbor Museum. > Jessie Helena Buchanan served as a Nurse during the War and received the Red Cross Honour.  She is the only woman to be listed on their Honour Boards. > Her brother Hugh also served and we have located a picture of him. > Do you or any other Buchanan family descendants have a picture that you can send me?
