Mary Seacole the black equivalent to Florence Nightingale.

Well done, Opti

Fascinating story, and an ideal subject for the Guide.

A long overdue addition to the Guide!

For some reason I thought Mary Seacole was already in the guide - don't know why.

Nice entry Opti - perhaps you could mention that she used traditional Creole cures she learned from her mother ?

Oh and Victoria's nephew, the sculptor is more correctly called Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenburg.

That would be from reading my Queen Victoria Uni project while it was in PR

fellow researchers for your compliments

Is this ripe for picking yet?

Considering it's not been in PR for a week yet, no.

And let me go through it first.

Have you read it yet, Matt?

No. I'm sure it'll go ahead though.

>Mary was the first female doctor to receive a pass that allowed her entry to tend to the soldiers who were injured, ill and needed food and water.<

Mary was no doctor, I suggest you change that to first female medic.

consider the change put in place

next please.
