Notes
Attestation approved by Colonel Herbert Stanley Birkett. Birkett was connected to No. 3 Canadian General Hospital (McGill).
A Nursing Sister Steele of Brockville, Ontario, was attached for duty on the staff of the Canadian Eye and Ear Hospital at Folkestone (Toronto Star - January 1st, 1916). This is likely the same person.
A report in the Vancouver Daily Sun on 07 October 1917, indicated that a party of returned veterans had arrived in Vancouver on the morning of Saturday October 6th. It is noted that a Nursing Sister Steele of Vancouver was one of two Nursing Sisters accompanying the men from the Atlantic with the party. It would require further research to confirm if this is the same person.
