Nurse Jane Simpson "Jean" McInnes
Red Cross
from:Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Jean McInnes was an Australian, daughter of Alexander McInnes and Margaret (nee McDougall) born in Brisbane Queensland in 1891, who was working at the Smithston War Hospital Greenock, Scotland during WW1. It is not known yet what the exact period of her service was. The evidence for her being at Smithston is this July 1919 funeral notice. As the military authorities withdrew from Smithston in April 1919 she may have been a Red Cross volunteer rather than a military nurse working with a British unit She has no Australian Army Nursing Service file at the National Archives of Australia.
