Notes

Marie Whitlock trained as a nurse at St. Vincent's Hospital in Melbourne. She was employed at the RMC Hospital at Duntroon for a short period in early 1916 but had to wait a year before her enlistment was accepted. Whitlock arrived in Egypt in July 1917 on the same ship as Ethel Macfie and joined the staff at the 14th Australian General Hospital at Abbassia in Cairo where she spent the next two years. She returned to Australia in July 1919 but on board the ship she met Alan Wendt, a light horseman and Gallipoli veteran. They married in Adelaide on 27 October 1919. She died in 1964 in South Australia.
