Misty, I've written a comment on the other thread.

I'm now beginning to think that the travelling nurse may not be Milly and the photo in my possession must remain anonymous.

Yup, that's grandad's sister at Southend. I wondered if the M Ling travelling to SA was her as I've been searching for her for quite some time. The thing that made me wonder was the photo of a nurse in my grandad's effects.

Of course I could be wrong.

Can anyone help, please, in pinning down what happened to Miss M Ling who travelled to South Africa as a nurse in 1920? I was wondering whether she could be my grandfather's youngest sister, Milly Linge.
