The story of two overseas nurses who came to Amersham to work

This week’s article tells the story of two nurses who worked at Amersham hospital during WWII and the 1960s. Today, Amersham Hospital is a large community hospital which provides a range of out-patient clinics, imaging services and therapies. However, for most of the second half of the 1900s it was a general hospital with a casualty department, maternity department and operating theatres, all of which had evolved out of the 1839 Amersham Union Workhouse.
