Color me shocked.

Hi everyone! As some of you may know, our organisation, YHP, is focused on the promotion of the scholarship of Black British History. We have some amazing projects which we can't wait to share with you next year. But the research, editing etc. for these projects are done on a volunteer basis.

A tale of social mobility, education, international travel, & professional #Nursing Also a tale of naming ‘just a nurse’ in an unmarked grave. Gone but not forgotten 💙 #Histnursing #WomensHistory #workingclass

Did you know that we will post books to our members for free📦📮? You can access Europe's largest nursing library collections wherever you are in the UK. Find out how you can request a postal loan for the new year: https://bit.ly/4hUqqhZ

#HistNursing Advent day 5. These are possibly my favourite photos showing the personality of the nurses. The nurses were sent at short notice to German held Samoa in August 1914 - possibly 1st nurses to serve in war. They all went on to serve in Europe for rest of war. Probable measles TPR chart
