Elsie Inglis

After Russia’s involvement in the war ended, tens of thousands of Serbs faced certain death. However, I successfully petitioned for support to aid the troops on their journey home.

I’ve developed a strong affinity with the Serbian people and they now call me ‘The Serbian Mother from Scotland’.

SWH forever❤️🏥

Look inside my hospital👶🏼❤️

My maternity hospital👶🏼👶🏼❤️

SWH and I have set up an incredible 17 hospitals across Europe.

We got more than 1500 personnel that served SWH, only 20 were men.

I believe that helping the war effort would not only help soldiers in need, but it also demonstrates the true capabilities of women.

We get these expert women doctors, nurses and ambulance workers organised. We send units wherever they are wanted. The need is there and too terrible to allow any haggling about who does the work.

I cannot think of anything more calculating to bring home to men the fact that women can help intelligently in any kind of work. So much of our work is done where they cannot see it. They'll see every bit of this.
