			==Using the Wiki==

			This site is organised as a wiki, meaning that information is spread across many linked pages rather than contained in a single linear narrative. You can explore the site by following links within the text, using the search box at the top of the page to look for individual nurses, places, or services, or browsing through related pages via categories shown on each page. Pages are intended to be read independently, but also form part of a wider connected structure, allowing readers to move easily between individual nurses, historical context, and source material.

	<gallery class="center" mode=packed heights=~~120px~~>		==History and Heritage of British Army Nurses==
			This is a wiki for the history and heritage of British Army nurses and nursing, including the Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps and its antecedents (Army Nursing Service; Princess Christian’s Army Nursing Service (Reserve); Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service and its Reserve, Territorial Force Nursing Service, Territorial Army Nursing Service).

			The origins of the project lie in my PhD research, a prosopography of nurses who served during the South African (Boer) War. This work was subsequently expanded to include nurses who may have served as Army nurses before the Boer War, as well as the impact of Boer War veterans on the development of military nursing during the First World War. Over time, the site has evolved into a general repository for information relating to British Army nurses.

	This is a wiki for the history and heritage of the Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps and its antecedents (Army Nursing Service; Princess Christian’s Army Nursing Service (Reserve); Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service and its Reserve, Territorial Force Nursing Service, Territorial Army Nursing Service), collectively British Army nurses.

	Much of the information in the wiki was based on my prosopography of nurses in the Boer War. This was expanded to include nurses who may have been Army nurses before the Boer War, and also the impact of Boer War veterans on nursing in WW1. Over time it has become a general repository for information about British Army Nurses.
