CANADIAN RED CROSS SPECIAL HOSPITAL, BUXTON, Derbyshire, England

Nursing Sister Popham appears to have served at Buxton.

For example, this page for a diary entry dated July 11, 1916 reports "July 11th. Nursing Sisters Popham, and Davies also from No. 10 Stat. Hospital reported for duty."

Another very blurry entry for November 1916 states that a Nurse Popham reported to Ravenscroft Military Hospital, Seaford.

It is worthwhile to check all the diary pages for the Canadian Red Cross Special Hospital, Buxton, to look for further information about Nursing Sister Popham's career at this hospital. The diary pages may be accessed at the following links:
