Extract from The British Journal of Nursing dated 26 August 1916 -
We greatly regret to record the death of Nurse Mice M. Blacklock at Basra, Mesopotamia, as the result of an attack of dysentery. Miss Blacklock was the daughter of Captain Blacklock, Warbreck Moor, Aintree, and received her training at the Brownlow Hill Infirmary, Liverpool, remaining there until 1913. She then joined the nursing staff of Fazakerley Hospital, and was there for some time after it was made a military hospital. A few months ago she proceeded abroad, and had made two voyages in a hospital ship to the Dardanelles, after which she took up an appointment in a British hospital in Bombay. Later she went to Mesopotamia, where she died a few days after her arrival.
