the Army Nursing Service
This site explores the history of the Army Nursing Service & Princess Christian's Army Nursing Service (Reserve), and in particular those individual nurses who were in service at the time of the Boer War.
The records of individual nurses have been put together from a variety of sources to create a rich resource for anyone interested in Army Nursing, or trying to find out information about an individual nurse.
The History of The Boer War:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is not intended to provide a complete history of the Boer War, as this is well documented elsewhere.
There is a section of links to Boer War resources, and a short summary dealing with the deployment of hospitals, hospital ships, and nurses.
Improving and expanding the information:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am always keen to share information with others interested in this area, and would be keen to include any information you may have on those who served with the Army Nursing Service or Princess Christian's Army Nursing Service (Reserve) All sources will be recognised appropriately.
Background
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the Crimea War and other military campaigns on the African continent, the health care provision for soldiers had become more formerly structured.
Shortly before the war in South Africa the Army Nursing Service had come into being, established to provide a body of trained and competent nurses to give care both at home and overseas.
By the start of the war in South Africa the Army Nursing Service had:
・1 Lady Superintendent
・19 Superintendent Sisters
・68 Sisters
There was, initially, no mechanism for expansion or the use of reserves, but the formation of the Princess Christian's Army Nursing Service Reserve enabled the eventual deployment of over 1,400 trained nurses fron the UK.
Some of the reserve nurses joined the regular component and some stayed in the reserves after the Boer War ended. Some went on to serve in the Great War as Army nurses.
Medical Organisation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The organisation of medical care in South Africa was reasonably well standardised, although it had not been tested on any major scale.
The main issue then (as now) was to be the transportation of the wounded back to the hosptals.
The plan was for each soldier to carry a field dressing.
Each company was to have a Medical NCO and 2 Stretcher Bearers whose responsibility it was to carry the wounded back to the battallion aid post.
The battallion aid post was manned by a Medical Officer and a Medical NCO. Wounded were moved from the battallions by stretcher bearers from a Bearer Company, to a Casualty Colecting Station.
They were then transported to Field Hospitals by ambulance (if available) or by strtecher bearers.
The Field Hospitals were mobile and were equipped to deal with 100 casualties, There were no beds or stretchers so casualties lay on groundsheets.
They were cared for by orerlies as nurses were not sent as far forward as this.
Stationary Hospitals were positioned along the lines of communication and could take 100 casualties on stretchers.
General Hospitals were initially placed at bases, but as more medical assets came into South Africa and the lines of communication grew longer they were also found further forward.
They were equipped like any civilian hospital of the time and could take 500 patients (although some expanded beyond this).
(see De Villiers) Movement between the hospitals was often via trains, or in ships down the coast from Durban to Cape Town.
During the Boer War nurses were deployed to serve in Base, General and Stationary Hospitals, Hospital Ships, and Hospital Trains.

ピーリングは本来、堅くなってしまった角質を柔らかくしたり、ニキビのあとをきれいにしたり、美白や美肌の効果を向上させるためのものです。ピーリングには大きく分けて2つのものがあります。それは「ケミカルピーリング」と「レーザーピーリング」です。ケミカルピーリングは、グリコール酸配合ジェルというものを使うことが多く、顔にジェルを塗布して表皮細胞を増殖させます。それにより細胞が増殖し始めると肌の新陳代謝が上がります。
