Staff Nurse Lilian Rutherford |
Lilian Rutherford joined her sister
Linda in Salonika in 1917. Authorities would not approve leave to the UK for nursing staff at Salonika until mere days before the Armistice, and once the war ended the Rutherford sisters were granted leave in the UK, Linda leaving a few days before Lilian. On 1 January 1919, Lilian was awarded a Royal Red Cross
"in recognition of her valuable services with the British Forces in Salonika".
