Summary
| Description |
On the outbreak of the First World War, Matron Evelyn Brooke was working as a Nursing Sister at Wellington Hospital. Like a number of nurses she quickly enlisted, and on 14 August 1914, she and a handful of other nurses left for Samoa as part of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. There she was based at Apia, acting as second in command to the Hospital Matron until April 1915, when she was promoted and placed in charge. This image shows Brooke alongside a group of New Zealand nursing staff and members of the armed forces at Apia Hospital. Back, from left: Sisters Veda/Vida McLean, Louis McNie, Louise Brandon. Middle row, from left: Sisters Ida Willis, Eva Brooke, Matron Betha Nurse, Sister Fanny Wilson.
