WW1 Pair to Nurse Lovett VAD.

Very interesting WW1 British war medal and victory medal, correctly named to E. Lovett V.A.D. with British Red Cross Society medal for the great war. Ethel Lovet lived at Weir Villa Taunton, Somerset and served with the 26 Somerset Voluntary Aid Detachment as a trained nurse from 22nd December 1915. She was placed with the 1st Eastern General Hospital, Cambridge. Her papers say 1st Southern GH Cambridge, but this is not correct.
the hospital had its headquarters in Trinity College, with beds in the Leys School and in the grounds of Trinity College, and later in temporary buildings on the cricket grounds of Clare College and King's College to the south of Burrell's Walk, with over 1,500 beds by the end of 1915. It was the first hospital to receive wounded from the western front and the hospital continued its war duties until 1920.
Ethel Lovett was transferred abroad on 22nd July 1918, and she was still serving when the war ended.
All three medals are in excellent condition and come on long lengths of original ribbons and comes with copies of her medal index card and Red Cross service index cards.
