Summary[edit]

"Sister Pretty departing": Boer war nurse, c. 1900
Title
"Sister Pretty departing": Boer war nurse, c. 1900
Description

A Boer War nurse boarding a horse- drawn RAMC supply wagon. Captioned "Sister Pretty departing".
Sister Pretty appears in an edition of The Lancet, August 1900, in a report received 13th August 1900. This states that Sister Pretty (and two other nurses) were leaving Africa after Pretty's convalescence from enteric fever (typhoid). This gives a likely date of July 1900 for the photograph or more conservatively July/August 1900.
