Uploader's Research notes: Sister Davies trained in Chicago but enlisted in London Ontario to join Col Seaborn's unit. She served at the #10 Canadian Stationary Hospital. She contracted the Spanish Flu shortly after the end of the war, according to the publication 'Battle for Life - The History of No. 10 Canadian General Hospital' by J. Hyatt and N. Poole (2004) which referenced this from the war diary November 15, 1918. [Nursing Sister Army Canadian Army Medical Corps Canadian Army Medical Corps ]
