Olive Maud Bros

from:Kogarah, NSW

My Great Great Aunt, Olive Bros, left Australia during WW1 and we presume she served as a nurse. However, in no Australian War records is she found. We know she was on the ship SS Osterley travelling out of Port Said after refueling with coal as there is a photo and comments on the back saying this. There are other photos saying she was passing through the Red Sea. Other photos are in Scotland and England and includes one with her in a nurse uniform, although no red shawl as was typical of the Australian nurses at the time. She never returned to Australia and died in 1954 and is buried in Birmingham.

Hope someone can assist me with my research.
