I have one WWI BRCS VAD Nurse listed but name is ELLA RiCHARDS (not Elsa) Her parents are listed as living in Ardwyn, Lampeter, Cardiganshire. She died of pnuemonia 14th October 1918 and is buried in Mikra British Cemetery, Kalamaria. I have not undertaken any serious research on this lady and would suggest that you post a request on Great War Forum where you may well get more info. I have no Rhoda Richards listed. Tony
Hello Hugh as suggested by Tony RICHARDS, ELLA Rank: Nurse Date of Death: 14/10/1918 Age: 31 Regiment/Service: Voluntary Aid Detachment Grave Reference 542. Cemetery MIKRA BRITISH CEMETERY, KALAMARIA Additional Information: Daughter of Timothy Richards, J.P., of Ardwyn, Lampeter, Cardiganshire. CWGC - Casualty Details regards Clive
I think Sue Light is a member of the forum? No better person to contact re: WW1 Nurses. I know Sue Light hangs out on Great War Forum-- Agree she would be the best one to ask, if she doesn't answer it on here.
