For the last 6 mos of my 3-year R.N. training  I served as Cadet Nurse at England General Army Hospital, a de-embarkation  center for the East Coast. The hospital was formed by hotels, Chalfonte, Haddon Hall and Colton Manor, (last one our residence).  We were accorded percs of Army 2nd Lt. ate in Officers' Mess, drilled on Boardwalk in fatigues...gray "designer" street uniforms with beret. While on duty, we wore white nurse uniforms and caps. It's exciting to find this modern recognition and interest for Frances Bolton's Cadet Nurses.
