Staff Nurse Ethel Hutchinson M.M. Ethel HUTCHINSON, nursing sister, Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve, worked with Edie at 3 Casualty Clearing Station. Edie makes several references to her, usually in connection with off-duty walks together. See the names index for dates on which she is mentioned in Edie's diaries. In October 2012 Ethel's great niece, Barbara Blake, contacted us via Edie's Visitors Book with more detailed information about Ethel and her family. Barbara's mother, Evelyn Birkin (89), is Ethel Hutchinson's niece and remembers her well. Ethel
was born in 1875/6
in Nottingham, the first child of John and Mary Hutchinson. The eight
siblings included: Ethel, Gertrude, Annie, Mildred, John, Ben, Thomas
and Harry. The address she gave through most of the war was 300
Bluebell Hill Road, Nottingham. She trained at the London Hospital.
