Nursing Sister Lily Gertrude Francis RRC2.
British Red Cross
from:Somerset, Bath
Lily Francis met T.S.R Miller, a soldier in the 23rd Royal Fusiliers whilst serving at Toxteth Park Hospital. He had been very badly wounded at the battle of the Somme and was brought back to Liverpool to Toxteth Park. The story was that he was unlikely to survive and she nursed him back to health. They always joked about what happened behind the poison cabinet! She later married him and they went on to have two children. She received the RRC medal for her services to nursing.
