Commemorating WW1 civilians is outwith CWGC's Charter and therefor they cannot be included.
For WW2 they were asked to record the names supplied to them by the various civil authorities and they are recorded in the Debt of Honour Roll. The graves are not war graves and CWGC do not maintain them.
The Singapore lady seems interesting, provided she died of hostility related causes. These sort of cases are complicated to verify and the process could well take some time yet. _________________ Jim

Anne
No sign of her being a miltary nurse, so civilian, VAD, etc seems likely. _________________ Jim

Hello All,
I know it is some time since the last post on this topic. However, I was looking at the Bangour Memorial and found this lady listed in Volume 4 of UK De Ruvigny's Roll of Honour - also has a photograph. It reads she "commenced her military nursing career in June 1995 at Tillyrie Red Cross Hospital, was appointed to EWH at Bangour in Nov 1916 and died there 16 May 1918 from pneumonia contracted whilst on military service."

I'm afraid it does not help, since it cannot be relied upon as an official record.
It simply confirms she was working in a Red Cross military hospital. I am making checks but suspect she was was a local Red Cross or VAD member working in EWH, in which case she cannot be commemorated due to death by pneumonia. Tony has alrady suggested this is the case.
Am following up Maragaret's e-mail. _________________ Jim

Isabella needs another look. I can provide evidence that Edinburgh War Hospital was run by the military.
If anyone wanted to try and obtain any newspaper articles, this, together with the other 'evidence' we have, I would have high hopes she would go forward.

For neatness, I will add her details on the end of this thread. While looking for nurses named on Memorials I came across her name on Dollar Acadamey WM and found this thread about her non-inclusion on CWGC. At some time someone's efforts were successfu. Apologies if this has been resolved on another thread.
