The major assignment in this unit was to write an essay about someone who served during World War I. The person that I chose was Staff Nurse Janet Muir Gaff whose name is listed on the Shire of Nunawading Honour Board. Janet was a nurse in the No. 4 Sea Transport Section.
Before writing the essay it was necessary to make a time-line of the information that appeared in Janet's Service Record as well as other sources including War Diaries of hospitals where Janet worked plus the diary of a matron at one of the hospitals.
