World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Sr. Eudora Helen Jones
Canadian Army Canadian Army Medical Corps
from:Port Perry, Ontario
I have obtained and examined the military record of Eudora Helen Jones, on behalf of her niece, who is a friend of mine. Eudora Jones was born on 16th of November 1890. She trained young as a nurse, and was nursing at the Sherbrook Protestant Hospital when war broke out.
She volunteered for service on 27th of July 1916 at Montreal. She was a single lady. Her father the Reverend Charles Wesley Jones and her mother of Port Perry were listed as her closest relatives. On her enlistment, Eudora was noted to be age 26, was a graduate nurse, was 5 foot 2 and half inches tall, and had good physical development.
While stationed at Etaples, on the 15th of October 1917 Eudora was diagnosed with pleurisy. She was scheduled to be returned to duty on the 9th of November 1917. However, she was diagnosed with pleurisy plus anemia and sent to England from the 10th November to the 30th of November to recover. Eudora also had foot problems, with some boney growth which made standing and walking for long periods of time painful. With her physical issues and her father being very seriously ill at home in Canada, Eudora was brought home early in May of 1919. Many Canadian servicemen and women had to wait much longer than that to return home, as there was insufficient shipping to bring them all home early.
On 6th of September 1919 at the Ste Anne de Bellevue Military Hospital in Montreal Quebec, where she had been taken for treatment, Eudora was deemed to be medically unfit for further military service. In her military papers she indicated her intention to live at Bancroft Ontario, where her brother ran a business. Within six months of her arrival in Canada, her father passed away. Eudora died in 1972 and is buried at Port Perry.
