Casualty Clearing Station
Beatrice faced incredible calls on her nursing skills as she coped with caring for the wounded at Heliopolis and on the troop ships. She could have been forgiven for hoping for an easier time in her new posting. Instead, she entered a new hell.
In 1919, Beatrice was awarded Associate of the Royal Red Cross (ARRC) for ‘exceptional competency and devotion to duty‘ whilst attached to the British forces in Salonika, Greece.
