Detailed collection of personal letters and postcards relating to the World War I Red Cross nursing service of Sister Crommelin. The letters written to her family describe in detail her work in hospitals in England and France, her pride in the A.I.F. and Australia, her frustration of working in poorly run French hospitals and not being allowed to improve the conditions, the 1918 offensive and aftermath, working in a war zone, working with members of the American Red Cross, the Victory Parade in Paris and how the Americans were pushing up prices in France. Also contains some photographs, newspaper clippings, Sister Crommelin's French war zone passport and other official documents and pressed Australian flowers sent by her mother.
