Mabel Jamieson

Mabel Elizabeth Jamieson (21 July 1881 – 23 October 1915) was a New Zealand nurse who served in the First World War and died when the SS Marquette was torpedoed and sunk in 1915.

The ship sailed to Port Said, Egypt, and the contingent of nurses worked in a stationary hospital there.

In October 1915 Jamieson was on board the SS Marquette when it was torpedoed by a German submarine and sunk.

On 21 November 1915, a memorial service was held at the Palmerston North Opera House presided over by the mayor, Jimmy Nash, for the Marquette nurses, which included Jamieson and fellow Palmerston North nurse Marion Brown.
