Ethel Moir

[4] Moir left British Honduras at the age of 3 months and travelled with her family to Scotland[4] where she grew up in Inverness and befriended Lilias Mary Grant.

[6] Moir notes in her diary that the ship arrived in Arkhangelsk on 10 September 1916[7] and from there the unit moved upriver to Bacheridza where they were visited by local dignitaries.

[3] The unit left Bacheridza by train and travelled via Moscow to the Front where they joined the First Serbian Volunteer Division in Odessa[8] and set up a field hospital in a barn housing 200 injured soldiers.

[3] In late September Moir and the SWH moved to Medgidia, close to the front line, where they set up a hospital treating both Serbian and Russian troops.

[12] Moir and Grant's war time experiences, as recorded in their diaries, inspired the play Sea And Land And Sky[13] by Abigail Docherty.
