Description: Sister M.C. English (nursing sister, probably Canadian), 1915-1920. War badge service certificate, issued in Victoria, B.C., 1919, which indicated she served in France. Two Christmas cards from the No. 1 Canadian Stationary Hospital, 1915-1916. Allied Women on War Service Dinner, Paris, August 1918. Postcards, black and white photographs, most of them of nursing sisters with soldiers and hospitals.  There are 2 photographs from 1915, one marked "Turkish prisoners", and the other of a field hospital, although the photograph depicts horses with a wagon at a camp. There are two documents in German (one is a paybook issued to Johann Rutert which indicates he was vaccinated by a British doctor) and another document in Polish, 1920, issued to Sister English.
