Nursing in the Second World War brought new people to Britain and helped new medical techniques to succeed.
At the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead new plastic surgery techniques were trialled on badly injured soldiers.
Sister Mary Meally ran the burns ward, where she looked after badly burnt airmen who were receiving treatment.
Many West African and Caribbean women travelled to, and trained as nurses in Britain during World War II.
These included Princess Ademola, daughter of the Alake of Abeokuta, an important king in Nigeria.
