Isabella started working at Mayfield in January 1915 and acted as commandant of the hospital until March 1919.
Unfortunately, we have been unable to find out much about Isabella Scott other than the information on her Voluntary Aid Detachment record card. Can you help us to fill in some of the gaps?
