St Margaret Lowestoft War Memorial Chapel -  Kent to Lane

I was visiting St Margarets Church in Lowestoft specifically to see the side chapel, dedicated to those who had lost their lives from the town in the Great War. The names of hundreds of them are written on panels down one side. I was here even more specifically to look for five names in particular – spread through-out the alphabet so that meant I needed good shots of at least five of the panels. Well I took pictures of them all, “just in case”. Not all are as sharp or framed as I might have liked and I definitely didn’t have time to thoroughly research all the names, (but who knows, I may come back!). So five panels are done, the rest are pot luck.

The Roll of Honour site has already made a start on trying to identify the names in the chapel.

Nurses at the New Zealand Stationary Hospital, Wisques, France, 1918

In September 1916 the No. 1 New Zealand Stationary Hospital moved to Wisques, France after the bombing of the station at Hazebrouck, near Armentières. Nurses on the Western Front served close to the front lines and were at risk from bombs, shells, gas and all the other hazards facing soldiers. Wisques was freezing cold and surrounded by a swamp, and the work was relentless as casualties poured in after major battles.

This photograph shows four unidentified nursing sisters looking out from a New Zealand Stationary Hospital building in Wisques. The photograph was taken on 16 August 1918 by official war photographer Henry Armytage Sanders. It is one of the official photographs of the NZEF (New Zealand Expeditionary Force), described as the H series.
