5 MISSG. POPE _

(Continued from page i)

“was uated from the mother of nursin schools in A}: graduation she had charge of Dr. Johnson's private hospital in Wash- ington. I'm" five years she was superintendent of Columbia Hospi- tal for women, Washington, where she started s. training school for nurses. Later she took a post lrraduate course at Believus and‘ was placed in charge of nursing at St. John's Hospital, Yonkers, New York. where she remained until the autumn of i899.

Answered Call

Just after the outbreak of the South African war she answered the call of the Motherland. "

She sailed from Quebec. that year with Canadian troops bound for 501ml Africa. and won high recog- nition for her services during the

war.

Arter demobilization in 1002 she was on the reserve force until 1906 when she Joined the permanent force and was stationed at Halifax.

During the Great War she wgg Hmong the first of the Canadian nurses to go overseas and served for a. short time as matron at Orplniiton and Taplcw before going to France where she was matron at La Touquet Hospital.

She was invalided home in 1919 and retired into private life at

0n Dec. B. 1925. Miss Pope cele- brated her golden Jubilee of service as a. nurse and received many tok- 9h! 01' Blllpreciation from friends at home and abroad, including the Prince Edward Island Nurses‘ As- sociation and the Charlottetown Nurses’ Alumnae Association.

She was a cultured and gifted.

lady. endowed with rare qualities of mind and heart which endeared her to a host of friends who will sincerely deplore her passing. Am. on: those who held her in special esteem and affection were the re- turned soldiers.

Aflhufllly a-t every Remembrance Day celebration. it was Miss Pope's customfo place a wreath in mem- ory of ‘her boys" at the War Mon- ument after participating in the memorial service.

She was the last surviving mem- ber of her family. Her sister, Mrs. Helen M. Mitchell, who was about three years her SCDICLDBSSQG away on May 25th. less than two weeks

Service In South Africa

ML“ Pope's eiliperierlces iii South Africa during the Boer War were vividly described by herself in an article which she contributed to "The Canadian Nurse," l; monthly journal published in Winnipeg by the Canadian Nurses’ Association, on the occasion cf her golden jubi- lee in 1985. The following excerpts from her article will be read with interest:

"When war was declared in the autumn of 1899. and Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. Secretary of Stats for the Colonies, had accepted the offer of a contin ent from Canada, he included a s i! of three, and later four Nursing Sisters. I was asked by Colonel J. L. N. Neilson, G.G.H.S., than Director-General Medical Services at Ottawa, if I would so as Superintendiniz Sister (as Army Matrons were then call- ed). I accepted gladly, and Nurs- ing Sister Fonbes, Nursing Sister Elizabeth Russell. and Nursing Sis- ter Affleck made up the staff.

Designed Khaki Uniform

“Colonel Nelilscn and I considered as to wha-t kind oi uniform should be worn and decided on khaki, with which our troops were being fitted out for the first time in Canada. The design he left to me and ap- proved the choice oi s. short bicycle skirt. a Russian blouse with shoul- der straps and service buttons, ‘brown leather belt and , a khaki sailor list with little red brush. white coll-or and cuffs. slid apron with bib. We had no unl- forrn cap. thinking we would be under canvas and wear hats. After reaching South Africa I obtained permission from the War Office, through our Superintendent Sister. Miss Sidney Browne, R.R.C., .0 in- clude the llmglish‘ Army Nursing Service cap or veil in our uniform, which permission we considered an honour and a privilege.

The contingent sal ed from Que- bec on the 39th October, 1809. and arrived at Oslpe 'I‘own on Nov. 80th “very much afraid that we should find the wu- ull overl" After s month on the crowded troop ship. it was e relic! to reach anchorage at Table Bu . The Nursing Sisters were special y welcomed by s. com- mittee of the Red Cross and the surgeon-induct of the New Som- met Hospital ct Oebe ‘Town.

can Popebreoord continua: 0n Active Service "We disembarked on the 1st of finding that

ery effort to be showed to accom- yany them ic the front. This we were told was impossible as no nursinil sisters could be aoccnunc- dated in the fleld hospitals. S0 with very tad feelinzs we saw our countrymen entrain without us on Dec. 3rd, and realized at that early date what served us in good stead later: that we too were soldiers, to do as we were told, and go where we were sent.

"Later in the same day we re- ceived orders to proceed to Wyn- berg for duty in the large base hospital there. called Ne. l Gell- eral. where we found our services greatly needed. The wounded from Graspan and Belmont had been brought down recently and the number of Sisters was very small. I might here add that the total number of Sisters sent from home at this early date was 40, while a year later, including ourselves and other Colonials, we numbered 1,000.

"At No. l General we nursed in huts and found the work at times very heavy, oftentimes having our dinner between 9 and. l0 p.m. We received our first convoy oi wound- ed a few days after the battles of Magersioniein nlld Modder River, when the beds were filled with the men of the Highland Brigade, who sufleled so severely at the former place. We remained at Wynberg for nearly a month when No. 3 General Hospital oi B00 beds was

tched under canvas at Ronda-

h. a few miles away, under charge of Lt. Col. Wood. R.A.M.C., and we, with Miss Sidney Browne, RRC, as Superintendent Sister, and two Erlglish Nursing Skiers. formed the nursing stafl. Here we arrived on Christmas day and re- mained almovt six months, having at times very active service; some- times covered with sand during a ‘Cape South Easter’, at others del- uged with a forerunner of the com- ing rainy season. and at all times in terror of scorpions and snakes as bed fellows.

"A Great Privilege"

_“I.n February some of our men began to come down and as each new convoy arrived we eagerly searched for wearers '0f the Maple Leaf Badge, and deemed it a, grea-t privilege to find them our own special patients. Many oi the men came, but the officers were taken to No. 1 Wynberg as we had no officers‘ hospital, though when our duties allowed we mode several vis- its to see any of our countrymen in hospital there.

“In May, orders came for half our hospital equipment and nurs- ing staff t0 proceed to Sprinlgfon- tein. O.R.C., to go under canvas there, with Lt. Col. Keogh, our sec- ond in command, (later Sir Alfred Keogh, D.G M S). as P.M.O. Miss Sidney Browne preferred that Sis- ter Forbes and myself should re- main behind, as we were nursing in the enteric tents, which were isolated from the main camp and had been under my charge since February.

"A fortnight later our half of the hospital suddenly received olderstc go to Kroonstadt. O.R 0.. the Sis- ters to ‘proceed without delay‘. Four hours later Sister Forbes. eight English Reserve Sisters and myself. carrying the orders as Act- ing Superintendent. left for Kroon- stadt. After two days‘ journey we reached Springfontein where we spent an hour with our Sisters there who were cheerfully bearing great hardships. Sister Affleckmiho was doing night duty. told me that the cold at night was so intense that the medicine froze in the glasses as she carried them to the different patients.

At Bloemfontein

“At Bloemfontein we were delay- ed two days. ‘Traffic was so great and accomancdation for passengers so limited that we were billeted at ‘Dames Institute’ and ‘Grey Col- lege‘. two buildings used as hospit- als by No. i0 General. where two of our Sisters of the 2nd Continz- ent were nursing. and the other two lying very seriously ill st the

time.

"The 2nd Contingent with astaff of four nurses: Nursing Sister . l-furcombe (in charge). Nursing Sis- ter Margaret C. Macdonald (law! Matron-in-ehief. C.A.M.C.). Nursing Sister P. Richardson and Nursing Sister Horne, had arrived in Feb- ruary. The Sisters were billeted with us at Rondebosch for a few days, then proceeded to Kimberly. and later to Bloemfontein. whale we saw them in May, when Nure- irw Sister Richardson and Nursing Sister Home were very ill with en- tsric fever.
