==Military Nurses in India==
Female nursing was introduced in army hospitals in [[Madras]] in the late 1860’s, well before Calcutta, see [http://books.google.com/books?id=egysl1oHBI0C&pg=PA73 page 73] (Limited View Google Books) of ''Florence Nightingale and the Health of the Raj'' by Jharna Gourlay (2003).
The Indian Nursing Service for the [[British Army]] in India was founded in 1888, when Miss Catharine Loch and five sisters went to [[Rawalpindi ]] and Miss Oxley and three sisters went to [[Bangalore]]. Nurses were recruited in England. ''Angels and Citizens: British Women as Military Nurses, 1854-1914'' by Anne Summers (1988), [http://books.google.com/books?id=cuIOAAAAQAAJ&lpg=PA114 page 114] (Limited View Google Books), gives brief details of the conditions. The service became known as Queen Alexandra's Military Nursing Service for India in 1903, and in 1926 was amalgamated with Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service. This [http://www.scarletfinders.co.uk/8.html link] gives more details. Select 'British Military Nurses' and scroll down to Queen Alexandra's Military Nursing Service for India.
