From British Army Nurses
In 1881 the Army Nursing Service (ANS) was formed. Nurses wore military uniform and were employed directly to care for military patients. The ANS, although nominally a military formation was not an established part of the Army and did not sit within any of the directorates of the War Office. Army Nursing sisters served in support of many of the campaigns that took place between the Crimean War and the Boer War, and during the Boer War. The ANS ceased to exist on the formation of the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service in 1902, although some nurses remained on the strength of the ANS for a while after.
This category lists those nurses who served in the ANS.
