| According
to G.P. Oldham (Author of "Orders, Decorations, & Medals
Awarded to New Zealanders" 1991) there are ONLY TWO (2) known
examples of Gallipoli Medallions awarded to Nursing Sisters. The ONLY
other example rests in a Private Museum.
Nurses of the NZEF who saw active service in The Great War had their service number designated by "22/XXX" (IE they had "22" in front of their serial #) Sister Mabel Crook of the New Zealand Army Nursing Service was the 22nd Nurse and has (oddly) the # 22/22 !! Sister Mabel Crook earned her Registered Nurse badge at Palmerston North Hospital (NZ) in 1911.Nursing Sister # 22/22 Mabel Crook served aboard the Hospital ship "Nevasa" AT GALLIPOLI in 1915. |
