  • In memory of my great aunt Amelia Don, I have read the book you wrote of your time as a WW1 nurse, I could not begin to imagine the horror, the heartache, and the moments of joy you experienced. Thank you sweet Amelia for nursing all the brave soldiers. You were one of the many angels on earth, a brave lady; you will never be forgotten. I have left you a poppy for ANZAC day, with love and gratitude.
    Public - Sandra - Other relative - 30 March 2017
