Florence Mellor worked as a volunteer nurse treating wounded troops at Edenfield Auxiliary Hospital, Cupar, and then shell-shocked Officers at Craiglockhart War Hospital near Edinburgh. Here you can see extracts from her second autograph book.

During this time, Nurse Mellor collected sketches, jokes and poetry penned by the soldiers she cared for. Here you can see extracts from her second autograph book, from Edenfield Hospital and Craiglockhart War Hospital. You can see images from all three autographs in the Next of Kin exhibition.
