#NHSLouisaJordan is trending but Louisa was only one of many brilliant Scottish medical women who contributed during WWI. So a THREAD of my favies 👇Flora Masson was awarded a Royal Red Cross 1st class & became a sister at Rosewell Hospital. She also wrote several biographies. /1 
From Arran, Mary Lee Milne was head cook at the Scottish Women's Hospitals and worked closely with Dr Elsie Inglis, who was key to setting them up. Milne received a medal in 1916 cos she had been under fire. She later said 'I cannot bear to think of the things I saw.' /2
Norah Neilson Grey served as a nurse during WWI but she was an alumni of the Glasgow School of Art & also painted and sketched life in military hospitals. She endowed us with an invaluable record as well as undertaking her medical duties. These women are legends. So. Brave /3
