This community gathers the stories of five sisters and a mother who contributed to the war effort in various ways. The Gladstones lived in Jersey, Channel Islands, where two of the sisters and the mother volunteered with the local Red Cross. Two other sisters served as VADs in Malta. A fifth sister, Elsie, was a nurse and trained anaesthetist with QAIMNS and served in France and Belgium, where she died in 1919.
