They sailed on the same ship as Prime Minister Massey and Sir Joseph Ward who were attending a conference in Britain. Elsie met the Prince of Wales in Hawaii in 1920, who worked with fellow nurse went to work in the US Military Hospital Fort Shafter, Honolulu as they were short of nursing staff suffering from effects of the Flu. - From the family.
