Thread: W.W.1 Volunteer Aid Detachment List

My aunt, Eva Elizabeth Coon, joined the VAD nursing sisters in Kingston, Ontario, Canada during WW1. She served in England & France before repatriation in 1919. Some years ago. I came across a UK record of her having received a medal in England. I don't have a record of that now. Any suggestions as to finding that record online? Also, is there a complete list of VAD nurses from WW1?

You can find her medal card index at the national archives

Hi

It will also be on Ancestry, if you have an account or can access it from a library.

Thank you Robert. I do have an Ancestry.com account but could not find it there so will order record from the archives.
With Appreciation,

Much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Libby

You are right, I searched there but no result, pity as it would be a lot clearer that the one from NA.
Also a bit of information on VAD - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_Aid_Detachment
