	I think you'd have to go to Kew, or get a researcher to do it for you. You could email them to see if they'd search and send a copy - they might!

	Thanks Ann but how do you reach the list? As you can see I found the reference but no way could I find the actual names. Clive

	There is apparently an alpahabetical list of nurses names within WO399 - 15000 nurses are in this series.

	My aunt (Margaret Buckle) is reputed to have been a member of the Queen Alexandra's Army Nursing Service in WW I. National Archives in one place says 'arranged in alphabetical order' but I think this only refers to all subjects covered by WO 399 and not the nurses names. Can anyone help please?
