My V.A.D ancestor was Miss Lillie Barrass. She began service in nursing on 5 Aug 1914 and continued until 1 Aug 1917. Firstly, she was attached to 6th. Durham V.A. Hospital, Woodside, Darlington, which was one of the large houses given over by the owner for the benefit of the wounded and then she returned to her home town, Sunderland and had nursing duties at 4th Durham V.A. Hospital, Jeffrey Hall, Sunderland, which was a Church Hall now demolished. We know that she also worked as a nurse in France and we have a photograph of her in a nurse's/VAD uniform, with Radisson, Saskatchewan written on the photograph. We also have a medal of hers and although I noted an Imperial War Museum website on an earlier post referring to medals, the page was not available.
Any help gratefully received.
