Notes
Previous service with Dr. De Page's Unit in Belgium.
The Distaff (1917)Nurse Masie Parsons - who trained at the General Hospital, St. John's, through the application of her brother, Captain W. H. Parsons M.C.R.A.M.C., was enabled to join the Canadian Nurses of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, who gave voluntary service at the Queen of Belgians Hospital in Belgium. After serving five months at La Panne, close to the firing line, Miss Parsons went to London where she was attached to the C.A.M.C. and sent to Lemos. Here she met several of "our boys."
