Her name was Nannie Whitsitt. Her sister, Emily, was also a nurse. They are recorded on the Roll of Honour in St Mark's Church, Armagh.

Here's something on the hospital Nannie was working in: http://www.merseysid...inthewar/38.htm

Off topic, sorry...

For anyone interested in WW1 hospitals the 1st Western General Hospital, Liverpool is now Fazakerley Hospital (University Hospital Aintree).
It has, wrongly, been identified in earlier posts as Sefton General Hospital, Smithdown Road (formerly Toxteth Park Workhouse). Sefton General, now an Asda supermarket, did have soldiers there during the Great War but it was known as Smithdown Road Infirmary then.
