Provenance |
Awarded to Harriet Brydon of Eramosa Twp. who served in Europe as nursing sisters during the First World War. Awarded to personnel who served in a theatre of war prior to December 31, 1915. See p.32 "Orders, Decorations and Medals to Canadians". Nursing Sister Harriet Brydon's service file B122-SO44 shows that Harriet was in Europe by May 1915 and therefore eligible for this service medal. Her younger sister, N.S. Helen Luttrell Brydon, did not reach England until 1916. |
