As part of the Nightingale 200 for 200 Challenge the QARANC Association identified many of the Army nurses who have been awarded the Royal Red Cross (RRC) or the Associate Royal Red Cross (ARRC), and built a wall of images here during the challenge period – the 21st of October to the 4th of November 2020 when the Foundation was marking Florence Nightingale leaving for and arriving at Scutari Hospital to care for injured soldiers during the Crimean War.
These images will be added to and will form part of the QARANC Association Heritage Committee project on the history of these awards.
These images load in a random format so each time you visit you might find the images are laid out differently!
