‘It is of interest to learn that the British authorities in China have applied to the Sisters of the Community, St. Peter’s, Kilburn, who are engaged in hospital work at Seoul, Corea, in connection with Bishop Corfe’s Mission, for help in nursing the British sick and wounded, and that three trained nurses, working in connection with the Mission have responded to the appeal and have proceeded to Wei Hai Wei. They are Miss Cameron, Miss Mills and Miss Unwin.’ (ref. British Journal of Nursing, issue of 13 October 1900, page 296). One of 14 medals awarded to Nurses at the Wei-Hai-Wei Hospital. With some copied research.
