Thanks to Flora's scrapbook we now know all the names of the people in this photo from the Virtual History Tour:Marple Red Cross Nurses (The Herald, March 6th 1915)LOYAL LADIES WHO ARE CARING FOR OUR WAR-WORN HEROES.These ladies have been carrying out that noble duty of repairing our wounded fighters at the Brabyns Auxiliary Military Hospital, Marple, and their work has been singularly successful, as not a single case has either proved fatal or given cause for grave anxiety. Miss Hudson (in the centre of the group) at the outbreak of hostilities came along, and with characteristic loyalty, placed her beautiful home at the disposal of the Military authorities, with the result that Brabyns was the first auxiliary hospital opened in this part of the country.
