GUILLEMARD, Beatrice Elizabeth
From British Army Nurses
Nursing Service in the Boer War
Mrs Beatrice Elizabeth GUILLEMARD was recognised for her contribution to the care of the sick and wounded during the Boer War.[1]
The Queen's South Africa Medal Roll notes: "These two ladies residents of Aliwal North, Cape Colony organised a hospital on March 11, 1900 and nursed the wounded as well as provided soups, jellie etc for them for some three weeks until Hospital Orderlies arrived. This ultimately became a large hospital and was used for a great number of Imperial and Colonial troops".[2]
