Red Cross Nurses
Soham
World War II
The Red Cross Nurses were based at the Moat House which is situated near the Village College Lode Side, in the 2nd World War. The Moat House was used as a Convalescence Home for Soldiers who were cared for by the Red Cross Nurses. After caring for the Soldiers the Nurses went on to care for the Elderly. The images that follow show the Nurses on parade to St Andrews Church which we believe were taken at the beginning of the war. If anyone has any information on this we would be grateful to hear from you.
