WW1 Medal Pair to Nurse Willis V.A.D.

WW1 British war and victory medal correctly named to Agnes Nina Willis Voluntary Aid Detachment. The pair comes with her British Red Cross service medal for the Great War.
Agnes Nina Willis was born around 1888 in Bridgewater Sommerset. Her father was a builder and when he died her mother took on the company and employed Agnes as a bookkeeper. When war broke out Agnes joined the Red Cross as a VAD and was stationed at the Sothern General Hospital in Oxford from June 1917 and from there to a Military hospital in France. She stayed there until March 1919 earning herself two scarlet efficiency stripes. When she returned home, she went back into the family business once again as a bookkeeper. What she did from here is unknown but in the 1939 register she is employed as a secretary of the local hospital.
All three medals are in very good condition and comes with various research including medal index card, medal roll, census details, Red Cross index cards etc.
