Hi Rob, I don't know if your interest in female contribution to the allies war effort extends outside Britain but we have recently re-published a couple of books which I am pleased to say recognized the efforts of other than the members of the military, male, domain. Both are/were publications about Canadians. "Nova Scotia's Part in the Great War," CA0204, recognizes not only the nurses (by name) but also the contribution made by those who served from within Canada both as members of the military and as members of civilian organizations. The male, military, occupy most of the book of course. The other is: "Canada" - April through August, 1916, CA0202. This is a collection if issues of a weekly news publication (actually published in London, England) providing reports of the war, and those involved, from the Canadian perspective. (There is also a good deal of domestic news but - frankly - nothing particularly spectacular.) This publication also devotes a share of space to the contributions and careers of the nursing core. This publication is analogous to the London Gazette except that it is more or less exclusively devoted to Canadian topics. We have only located this one set of issues so far, but are making enquiries to obtain access to further issues so we can start to fill in a the whole series. There is more information on our web site if you want to look into these two CDs further. I have been aware of the poor recognition of the female effort in the Gt. War in our other re-publications, and so was very pleased when these two came our way. Malcolm Archive CD Books Canada Inc. President: Malcolm Moody PO Box 11 Manotick Ontario, K4M 1A2 Canada.
