Extract from a Memoriam
3rd London General Hospital, Wandsworth.
Sister Alice Flintoff, T.F.N.S.
On November 11th, Sister Alice Flintoff, T.F.N.S., died very suddenly from heart failure following influenza.
She joined up in the early days of 1914, and was one of the first to go abroad from this Hospital. She went through a great deal of foreign service in the
East at Cairo, Gallipoli, Alexandria, Malta, and other places.
When the C.O. was invalided from Mesopotamia, it was Sister Flintoff who was Acting Matron on the Varsova, the boat which brought him down from Basra to The Bar. She Went up as far as Baghdad before being sent to India with dysentery and malaria.
She was invalided home, and after a long rest returned here for duty on October 20th, 1918.
We buried her at Wandsworth Cemetery on November 13th with full military honours.
