A nurse’s autograph book rescued by Mr Parry from going in to the bin. The book belonged to Miss Mary Corfield VAD senior nurse. Born Swansea 1894. Alan Parry has researched Corfield, provided as an information sheet. The autograph book is a lovely example, even including a few photos of the patients. Three exceptional examples: a Maori soldier “Rotohiko Ulaunta”; an Australian private Sergt RH Pollett, with photo, whose sister survived the Lusitania – Alan to send more about Pollett and Ulaunta. And one page written in Chinese. Ally to try to get a translation.
